  • Interior Products Review: Hearth Throbs
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (1/23/2007)
  • In an increasingly modern world there are few domestic traditions more enduring than having a fire in the fireplace. In fact, a 2006 NAHB survey reports that 51 percent of new single-family homes built in 2004 have at least one fireplace as opposed to only 22 percent in 1950. At least 4 percent raise that count to two or more fireplaces. Substantiating this data, a recent study conducted by the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA) indicates that 22 percent of the home buyers surveyed admitted that a fireplace played a significant role in their decision to buy a home.
