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.

    I'm sorry, but our clients selected the log set independently and we do not have it in our records. With Isokern fireplaces, fire clearances are minimal. as they are gas burning, with double wall venting/flues. As a result, the tv niche had no clearance constraints. Make sure that you check with each fireplace manufacturer, as clearances may vary according to how they are constructed.

      You should consult with either an architect or fireplace designer for other issues, such as draft of the chimney related to the chimney height and fireplace opening, and current local codes for exterior combustible construction.

      Yes, agreed. We went thru all that. Texas wind out here is so strong we have to put 12" high temper glass on each side.

      Can you tell me what log set and burner you used and what was the requirement for the combustable on the niche? Also did you place a Tv in the niche above the fireplace?
