I was looking at a quadrafie or an astria ladera zero clearance wood stove but there are none to be found. The STove shop found an empire st clair in stock. I never heard of this brand any familiar with them? I would appreciate any feed back!

 
That company bought sbi from quebec
 
also i know this is a matter of taste i had something like the first pic in mind my wife likes both any one have pictures of a fireplace with the big square faceplate and a stone surround? i image once it is all said and done it will look good as well?


i was envisioning the arched design without a face plate like this one

SBI is building quite an empire of stoves and stove companies. They also acquired Englander this year.
