A Glass Act Once limited to fireplace doors and screens, glass has evolved to make its way into other areas of the contemporary fireplace. Glass opens up a whole new world of design possibilities and has become a popular way to frame fireplaces that make a bold statement. Shining tiles can add unimagined sparkle to the room when they reflect the crisp glow of a crackling fire, whether they be arranged in stunning mosaic or placed in more subdued ways. With new construction materials, come new shape possibilities that take us far from the traditional fireplace. From circles, to teardrops, to sensuous curves, custom designers can create just about any fireplace you can dream of. Even pyramids have begun to make a statement, appearing in uniquely geometrical designs that easily become the focal point of any room.
