Hi Richard! Great fireplace design- can you tell me what kind of double sided firebox this is? - I am building a cape house and hope to be able to put in a see through fireplace just like this one (and I love the reclaimed wood finish- if I can't afford the stone, perhaps this could be another option that would come in a little less pricey? Thanks for any help on the firebox manufacturer! Amy »
Richard Bubnowski Design LLC The fireplace was manufactured by Heatilator. Also, the reclaimed wood will probably be less expensive than the stone depending on what species of wood and what type of stone you choose. Also depending on how thick the stone is, you may need to support it with a foundation.
slors Do you know who manufactures the 12X24 slate tile? I am looking for a dark grey slate in a similar size and am having a hard time finding one in long island
Richard Bubnowski Design LLC The 12" x 24" size is really quite common. Any good stone supplier should be able to provide that size. The particular slate that we specified was Autumn Gold, but it may also be called by other names as well. It's approx. 5/8" thick and can be thin set.
Richard Bubnowski Design LLC We had originally specified an Isokern see thru fireplace, but the homeowner and contractor chose to use another brand. I believe they used a Heatilator, and it is a real wood burning fireplace.
Architect Richard Bubnowski kept white walls as a backdrop to highlight a rich mix of textures in this home. The fireplace facade is covered in local reclaimed oak, which conveys a sense of age to the new build and plays off the kitchen cabinets and island. See the rest of this home
After entering through the foyer, the view of the public spaces is open. The fireplace divides a family room from the dining room and the kitchen beyond. The fireplace facade is covered in local reclaimed oak, which adds warmth to the open space and provides a texture with a history.
I like the variation in this wood because it would pull the dining room table into the color family with out having to match the more yellow tons of that set.
