The problem

Where the job started

The gas fireplace sat in a painted wood surround with brass trim, and the hardwood floor ran right up to the firebox with no hearth in front of it.

What Korvex did

  1. Painted wood surround taken off
  2. Stacked stone veneer set around the firebox and up the wall
  3. Large-format tile hearth laid in front of the fireplace
  4. Firebox front finished in black

How we solved it

The hard parts of this job

  1. Brass trim and painted surround before
    01

    Brass trim to black

    The firebox sat in a brass trim frame inside the painted surround. With the surround off, the stone runs right up to the firebox, and its front is finished in black.

  2. Tile hearth meeting the hardwood
    02

    A hearth on a wood floor

    The hardwood ran right up to the firebox. A large-format tile hearth now sits in front of it, with a straight edge where the tile meets the wood.
