Is the cabinet built on an outside wall?

10 years ago

We have a similar space that we want to build an entertainment center. It is next to our corner fireplace. I like how this sits into the wall. Does this wall back to the outside? Ours does, wondering what considerations you made for insulation if this is an outside wall.

Thanks for your input.

Annette ~ Yes this is an outside wall. The wall was already insulted as per code. This was an existing built home with a niche area that is so popular in many floor plans. We simply came in and did the built in Entertainment Center. I hope this answers your question. CR Woodworks

Oh, of course. Thank you. I have a home built in 1991 which does not have a niche, but we sure wish it did. Thank you for your quick response.
