Hot Trends in Fireplaces

This month’s issue of Masonry Magazine features an article on the growth  of Masonry Fireplaces.  Here are some of the highlights:

  • * Suppliers and contractors  on the West Coast are seeing much larger than the standard three foot width, sometimes as wide as 10 feet. 
  • * More efficient fireplaces are also on the rise as quick and easy to install chimney caps and heat circulators are becoming more requested. 
  • * Outdoor fireplaces are more common, but still in high demand. Even less expensive homes can have a patio turned into an outdoor living space.
  • * Meticulously detailed mantles are increasingly requested, especially in "jewel box" homes.
