Fireplace framing

In order to achieve an integrated look involving the fireplace, tile, cabinetry and the hearth/mantle and shelving we must ensure the framing is done properly. 

In this application we are tweaking the design slightly to accommodate the fire related requirements of the fireplace. 

In this photo the hearth component of the framing is installed. The front will be tiled continuously and a sliding door to hide TV components will be supplied by the cabinet company to match the kitchen material.
