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.

What is the black area to the left and right of the firebox?

7 years ago
Can you please tell me what is to the left and right of the fire box? Is it a recessed area to store wood or is it flush with the front of the fireplace? What material was used?

    Hi. These alcoves are used as window seats without storage. The fire is gas so no need for wood.

    I'm not referring to the window seats. I'm referring to the black area to the left and right of the firebox

    That would be part of the fireplace and not made by us. Thank you.
