My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is this room insulated?

12 years ago
It appears not from this photo. Why would you heat a mudroom with a beautiful wood stove but not want to insulate it and at least put some cladding up inside. THanks for answering my question. I love this room.

    Actually, this room is insulated with structural insulated panels on the exterior. What you see on the interior is a decorative application of rough sawn framing and sheathing. The room is heated with radiant heat and wood stove.

    Yeah, look at the depth of the window.

    Gotcha. So beautiful. I've been dreaming about this room all winter. Wishing it were my reality. Thanks for the feedback. So awesome -- radiant floor heating as well? Just when I thought it couldn't get any better! Thanks for the tip sstd
