Cast Iron Surround
 
The ARTHUR cast iron surround pairs great with this elegant new mantel, providing a period style for this wonderful dining room! The homeowner also installed a Victor gas coal burner, which has not been lit for this photo.

By the way--it is quite functional--it puts out a nice gentle heat.

Classica Electric Insert
 
The CLASSICA electric insert fit inside the antique cast iron surround on this historic fireplace nearly perfectly. The look is simple & elegant. Clyde's house is waiting for 3 more of these to bring his other fireplaces back to life!

New Bedroom Fireplace
 


 
 
 
 

Here's Cindy's bedroom's entertainment area before, and the great look accomplished with a custom entertainment center that houses both the TV and their new WINDSOR fireplace. 
 
"Side cabinets are 20" in depth - I had them build a "fake back wall" only 5" in depth for the plasma tv.  I didn't want the television on the back wall because it would have been too far back. "
 
"Isn't that fireplace gorgeous??!!  My husband and I are beyond thrilled with the outcome of our master bedroom redo and my favorite part of the whole bedroom is the fireplace / entertainment area! The CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER is coming on April 14 to take the "after" pictures".

Windsor Gas Fireplace
 

Dear Folks--
 
My husband and I ordered a gas fireplace from you last year when we renovated our living room. Thanks for the great customer service and the quality of your products. I've enclosed a photo of the end result--I don't think you'll enjoy it any more than we have.
Warm Regards--

Ellectric Fireplace in RV
 

Bill & Val just moved into their dream home, a custom-designed and awesome RV which they've just decorated for Christmas. They hit the highways in January 2010 to travel the country, accompanied by their electric freestanding stove which they can move around easily and of which Bill says they're quite fond!

Installing a New Mantel
 
Robert's home had been built with a fireplace that bumps out from the wall and has built-in bookcases on each side. The builder had left virtually no space to install a mantel which left the fireplace looking somewhat unfinished.  Richmond, VA




Robert's fireplace is gas, and requires minimal clearances to combustibles. Upon meeting the clearances there would be no space to install a wood mantel. It turned out tha the CHESWICK cast stone mantel fit the framed fireplace wall perfectly, as well as the glass viewing area of his fireplace. This was admittedly a tough project, and he did a tremendous job! The fireplace now looks like a custom design.  CLICK PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
Olivia Cast Iron Surround
 

Just thought you would enjoy seeing the cast iron surround with the tile set we purchased from you. We can't wait to obtain gas coals (or vent it with a liner and burn real  coal occasionally...we can't decide). For now we'll get by the holiday entertaining on gel fuel. We're really happy with our purchase and appreciate your help. -Karl & Amy, Bedford, VA

These homeowners renovated their old fireplace with the OLIVIA cast iron surround and Carin tiles, which provide the perfect accent color to set the whole decor of the room. What a great look!  CLICK PHOTO TO ENLARGE

Windsor Electric Fireplace Conversion

Another project in 2006 from Ted in PA!
The chimney was not serviceable (left photo) and Ted wanted to convert it to burn a gas fire in this bedroom fireplace. However, the alterations that would be required made gas conversion impractical, so we encouraged him to consider an electric insert. Ted settled on the Windsor Electric Fireplace Insert (photo, right) and confirms this was a practical, less expensive alternative. We're cheering Ted on with his Victorian home renovation - though we know how much he must miss the orange carpet - and hope he'll send us another picture when the room is finished!

Melissa's Fireplace
 

FireplaceMantel1.JPG

Melissa used a bronzing technique on the metal front of the Adorn gas fireplace and the cast iron surround. She laid a coordinating period style ceramic tile hearth and installed an antique wood mantel. Great job!

Caution: this type of alteration can only be done with a suitable high-temperature paint.

Electric Fireplace at the Marquee
 
7a1672720.jpg
 
The Marquee is a banquet hall near our store in Richmond, VA that is decorated in an Art Deco style. They wanted a fireplace to offer a warm and cozy area for
 
guests to gather. The owner shared his vision with us and his talented carpenters, and designed this great looking electric fireplace using one of our cast iron surrounds and cast iron mantel.
 
 
 
 
 
 
The banquet hall is enormous and can be redesigned to suit individual events so the hearth in front incorporates cleverly hidden wheels that allows the fireplace to be easily moved t

Downsizing a New Fireplace
 

untitled.jpg


The dramatic mantel in this room was almost too large, and the homeowner really wanted a gas coal fire in this large fireplace. His solution was installing a cast iron fireplace surround and coordinating cast iron mantel which proportionately reduced the fireplace opening. Now the gas coal basket looks proportionate and the project turned out beautifully!
Transformation with Windsor Fireplace

Electric Fireplace on a Boat
 

electric-fireplace-on-boat-.jpg"Hi Karen, I finally found a few minutes to get a picture of our electric fireplace we put on our boat.  We are the talk of the marina and I have given your website to several neighbors, so you may be getting some business from Chattanooga, TN!

 
We just love it and it looks fantastic on the boat.  I tried to get a shot with the flames showing, but it didn't come through."
 
Thanks again!
Darlene in Chattanooga
