Transformation Tuesday 🔥
This living room always had a warm and inviting feel - but the homeowners wanted to improve the functionality, convenience, and overall look of their existing corner fireplace setup.
The original wood fireplace was replaced with the beautiful Enviro G42 Gas Fireplace while keeping the same corner layout that worked so well for the space. The result is a cleaner, updated design that still keeps the cozy atmosphere the room always had.
Finished with stunning Manzanita Cliffstone by Eldorado Stone, a limestone hearth, and a new mantel, this project gave the space a fresh new look.
One of the biggest reasons homeowners choose to switch from wood to gas fireplaces is everyday functionality:
🔥 Instant heat at the push of a button
🔥 No hauling or storing firewood
🔥 No ash cleanup or smoke mess
🔥 Easier temperature control
🔥 Consistent heat output
🔥 Less maintenance while still keeping the fireplace experience
This was a complete transformation package including demolition, framing adjustments, venting, masonry work, hearth installation, mantel installation, finishing, and detailed clean-up by the Apex team.
The new fireplace also features:
• Ember light kit
• Traditional split log set
• Black enameled liner
• Blower system for improved heat circulation
• Remote control operation
A great example of modernizing a fireplace while keeping the warm, comfortable feel that made the original space enjoyable in the first place.
