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 dimensions

3 years ago

I’m putting a gas fireplace in my great room . The wall that the fireplace is going on is 21 feet . Is there a formula I should consider to make sure my fireplace is proportional to the wall ? I’m looking for this look …. Wondering what the box width should be ( 36 , 40 ?) then what the mantle width should be as well as the wall outside of the mantle.
