Let's Craft Cozy, Together: Elements of Fireplaces



Selecting a fireplace is all about style and functionality. When designing a fireplace, there are so many elements that must be considered outside the cookie-cutter builder-grade fireplaces. If you're considering making over your existing or adding a new one, our team at Husky Builders would love to help you design and build it.


The first decision you have to make is what kind of heat you would like to utilize. Gas logs provide convenience with customizable surrounds, while wood-burning options exude rustic charm, featuring mantels for personal touches. However, if you don't have gas already in your home, it may not be your first choice. For a modern, hassle-free alternative, electric fireplaces offer sleek designs and diverse surround materials. Whether it's the crackle of wood, the ease of gas, or the simplicity of electric, finding the perfect fireplace involves balancing aesthetics and practicality for a cozy home ambiance.


Creating a custom fireplace is something that's special and truly the heart of your home's cozy haven. When contemplating a fireplace makeover, understanding the key design elements is crucial. Enter Husky Builders, your partners in transforming dreams into hearths.

1. Hearth: The foundation of your fireplace, the hearth, is where memories are made. For families with active lifestyles, consider a spacious hearth that accommodates cozy gatherings and offers a secure space for little ones and furry friends.


2. Firebox: This is where the magic happens. A durable firebox is essential, and Husky Builders can guide you through options ensuring safety and efficiency, all while keeping in mind the wear and tear from curious little hands and paws.


3. Surround: The surround sets the tone for your fireplace's aesthetic. Choose materials that harmonize with your family's lifestyle—robust stone for durability or chic tile for a touch of modern elegance. Husky Builders excels in tailoring surrounds to your unique preferences.


4. Mantel: A mantle is your canvas for personal expression. Opt for a sturdy, child-friendly material that withstands daily life yet allows for the display of family treasures. Husky Builders' craftsmanship ensures a mantle that complements both function and style.


5. Over Mantel Design: Elevate your fireplace with an over-mantel, a stylish extension that integrates seamlessly with your design. Let Husky Builders create a focal point, incorporating shelves or artwork to showcase your family's personality.
