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.

center channel speaker, drywall or other material around fireplace?

10 years ago
Hi, great space. I wonder if there's a center channel speaker in this arrangement? Also curious about which fireplace this is, and I wonder what the white material is on the recessed fireplace (since drywall would be flammable)

    The speakers are recessed in the ceiling to keep the wall "clean" of any electronics when the projector is on or off. The fireplace material is a solid surface quartz product (non-flammable). It is the same material used on the kitchen countertops and bathroom niche. It is purchased in slab formats so this was a creative way to utilize the entire slab.
