Heater Model? - Do you know the model of the heater you used? I know its Fostoria..but which one? And did your carpenter trim it out with stainless steel or did it come with the trim? »

theweismans Does it have a blower? Otherwise, how would it radiate enough heated air downward to the sitting location?

Christian Rice Architects, Inc. There is no blower on this type of heater. If you are under the heater, you can definitely feel it.

Christian Rice Architects, Inc. As the project architect, I'm generally not involved in furniture selection- which is also true in this case. This furniture was provided by the homeowner. Sorry I can't be more helpful-

Rail manufacturer? - I love the low railing! Is it composite? If so, who is the manufacturer? »
· Comment · 10 months ago
Christian Rice Architects, Inc. This railing was custom built using composite materials by Azek. Unfortunately, it is not a kit system.

porch width and heater?? - Beautiful porch! Can you tell me the depth of the porch and what brand ceiling heater you installed? Thanks! »

shlybennett Have you been happy with the heaters? I've looked them up and was a bit suprised at the low price. Just curious how long they've lasted and how reliable they have been. We are building very close to the water in Corona Del Mar and i'm concerned about the stainless tarnishing over time.

Christian Rice Architects, Inc. Yes-- I've used them several times. They don't put out as much heat as the gas heaters-- but the recessed installation is a much cleaner look. As long as the ceiling height is not too great, they work really well. -Christian

What is in the ceiling of this porch? »

Christian Rice Architects, Inc. This ceiling is made of 2" wide "bead board" that is painted white. Hope that helps! -Christian

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Alex Jewett: Godden Sudik Architects to 7 Ideas to Get You Back on the Front Porch
Keep the porch raised up off the ground. This will help to create a sense of security and allow you to look out over the neighborhood. But keep in mind that if a front porch is raised up 30 inches or more from the ground, code requires a 36-inch-high guardrail for safety.A high perch can help you watch over the neighborhood, and a safe neighborhood is a happy and comfortable neighborhood. You've probably heard of Neighborhood Watch programs — a front porch allows you to be an active member. Parents know more than anyone how important it is to have a safe place for raising kids. Just by sitting on the porch you can help deter crime and unwanted activity.
