The Result
This Elora addition is built around a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace — handlaid natural stone with a high-efficiency gas insert and a handcrafted wood mantel. It's the focal point of the room, warm and rustic without feeling heavy. Underfoot, radiant in-floor heating delivers even, energy-efficient warmth through Ontario winters, while expansive custom windows pull in natural light and tie the new space into the rest of the home. Every detail was chosen to balance comfort, efficiency and character.
Building in Elora
This home sits in Centre Wellington, where we've been building and renovating for over 20 years. We know the local permit process, the inspectors and the soil conditions that affect how foundations need to be built here. That background means fewer surprises and a smoother build from start to finish.
Does a custom stone fireplace add value to a home addition?
It does more than look good. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace becomes the focal point of the room, and pairing it with a high-efficiency gas insert and radiant in-floor heating means it also pulls real weight on comfort and energy efficiency. It's a feature you use every day, not just one you look at.
