Recent surveys show that a fireplace continues to be one of the most desired features in everyone's dream home. And with good reason, nothing can duplicate the pleasure of relaxing or entertaining in front of a brightly dancing fire. It has also been documented that a built-in fireplace adds considerably to the resale value of a home. It is one of the few home improvements that can actually provide more than a 100 percent return on your original investment.

Zero Clearance Fire Boxes

Zero Clearance Gas Fireplaces are the best choice for new home construction or renovation.  There are many decorative options in zero clearance models including bay windows.

Zero clearance fireboxes are inserts designed to work without masonry units surrounding the fire area.  These compact and shallow units can be placed between wall studs and in areas where a deep configuration is impossible.
