This is an example of a new construction build – the hearth, mantel and brickwork are all from scratch as there was no existing fireplace to work from.

This is a great example of how brickwork can go right up to the glass of the fireplace and create a more open, warm, feeling in your home.

Gas fireplace – 1 day (can be down in an existing home)

Reasons to feature – traditional fireplace that can be forgotten in current designs – clean lines, less is more, no elaborate trims, minimalist, gas looks like wood because of design.

Sommer Brothers Construction did brickwork and building.
