It's actually an Italian tile. Not quite the design we wanted due to a major fiasco with the tile company which impacted the fireplace and bathroom.I like the stone...what is it?
The wood is actually tile. The bigger tile places have some that cannot be told from wood. When I first saw it in the store I had to get down and give it the -tap-tap- test. The darker stuff is the most convincing. This is a rustic/rough wood look, they have not mastered the smooth shiney look yet.I like that wood inlay in the floor between the carpet and the tile...is that purely decorative or is it performing as a transition 'strip'...in other words, are the carpet and tile butted to it or was the wood routed to overlay the edge of the carpet and tile...?
The flame in this model (Dimplex) has many variations and a remote. In the picture the flame is off, but the coals appear to be glowing. This type is actually quite convincing.
