Wood, wallpaper, and double glass finishes can match any decor, from rustic to the most modern. Upgrading the finish is also a cost-effective way to transform an existing fireplace to match the rest of your room.

2. Customizable Fireplaces

3. Bedroom and Bathroom Fireplaces

Imagine your next bath, complete with the flickering flames of an in-wall gas fireplace. Providing both heat and beauty, small installations transform a bathroom into cozy and luxurious spa centers. Larger fireplaces and stoves in a bedroom can add warmth and ambiance as well, creating a comfortable room to relax at the end of the day.

4. Built-in Wood Storage

The discovery wood stove comes with a wood storage built in underneath, giving you functional and aesthetic wood storage options. It also has ceramic tile brackets on the side so you can match your home decor. If you have a wood stove that needs replacing, consider this type of design to save the nightly winter slogs to the woodpile.

New fireplaces not only feature external finish options, but also allow you to alter their interior. For a sleek look, consider a ceramic brick refractory for the inside finish of a gas fireplace with marble surround.
