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.

Fireplace tiles

9 years ago
This builtin and fireplace are beautiful! How are the edges of the fireplace tiles finished? Are they marble tiles that are mitre cut? Thanks!

    We are glad to hear that you like the builtins and fireplace.

    To answer your question, the tiles are 12" x 24" grigio fior di bosco marble, and the tiles around the fireplace were cut and polished on site, we used a straight cut rather than a mitre as we felt it provided a sharper finish that worked better with the builtins.
