Several steps were taken to minimize the risk of the deck igniting. Embers like to collect under decks where they can use collected leaf litter as fuel to gain enough heat to burn wood. We prevent that by sealing off the under-side of the deck with concrete hardy board. Next, two layers of irrigated and compost-mulched native, hydration-holding foliage defends the deck from embers. The beautiful, dense oak tree canopy on the right of this photo is the deck's greatest defense, protecting both the top and under deck from flying embers. Photo: Lesly Hall Photography

Dare to design... the fireplace of your dreams, while being environmentally friendly! Frontenac is not only the name of a grand hotel located in the heart of Quebec City, Canada. It is also the largest fireplace of the Valcourt brand. Majestic and imposing, this bravery symbol of the Count of Frontenac, who has fiercely defended the French colony, is quite appropriate to represent the enormous challenge overtaken when designing and manufacturing this fireplace. Exceptionally large, the FP11 Frontenac uses advanced technology to reduce air pollution and is already qualifies for Phase II of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) voluntary program for manufacturers of decorative wood burning fireplaces. With particulate emissions below 5.1 g/kg (which is approximately 70 percent cleaner than unqualified models), this model will surely give you elegance without compromising the quality of air. Just like the FP7-LM Antoinette, the FP11 Frontenac has a guillotine door that disappears in the hearth, allowing you to easily load wood on the fire and have an unrivalled view of the flames. The fire screen is also equipped with a guillotine mechanism. You will thus enjoy an open fire in safety when the ceramic glass door is open. Finally, the bare front allows significant flexibility and creativity in the design of your interior décor. Discover the additional qualities of the ambiance fireplace Valcourt Frontenac

Mediterranean Luxury Bathroom Transformation Rich emerald tones, warm brass accents, and intricate decorative details turn an ordinary bathroom into a Mediterranean-inspired retreat. This transformation brings together vintage elegance and contemporary finishes, creating a space filled with warmth, texture, and personality. The original beige tile and traditional vanity give way to deep green wall tile, an olive-green clawfoot soaking tub, and a beautifully patterned floor. Botanical wallpaper introduces a garden-inspired backdrop, while a fluted wood vanity, dark veined countertop, and ornate vessel sink create a distinctive focal point. Brass fixtures, an arched mirror, and soft accent lighting complement the room’s old-world character. Natural light from the skylight balances the rich palette, giving the bathroom an inviting atmosphere throughout the day. Each finish contributes to a cohesive design that feels intimate, expressive, and luxurious. Bring your bathroom vision to life with Prestige Design & Build, LLC.
