One of the best ways to distinguish your multifamily project from the pack is to build in the elegance of a fireplace. It offers the occupant warmth and comfort , and helps make a multifamily project feel more like home. Wood burning fireplaces are messy.
Soot stains the hearth and smoke discolors the walls.
Chimney cleaning and interior painting are ongoing expenses. Popping coals burn the carpeting and tenants often use the hearth as a place to split kindling, which can crack the tile. They're inefficient, and wood storage is an eyesore that attracts insects. A gas fireplace is a delight. It's easy to use just flip a switch and just as easy and economical to install.
