MORE Custom Stone Faux Fireplaces!

Manufactured stone faux fireplaces are extremely popular today . . . . . . . . .

. . . Often referred to as cultured stone, one of the
major brands, manufactured stone has come a long
way from its humble beginnings in the 1960s.

Significant advances in the development of product mixtures and processing tech-
niques  in  recent years have resulted in some incredibly realistic  looking  alterna-
tives  to  a  natural  stone  fireplace sur-
round.    The close-up above, as well as the examples pictured at  right  and  be-
low,  show  just  how  far manufactured stone has come!

Another remarkably versatile material employed  to fabricate today's stone faux fireplaces is  concrete,
which  can  be moulded or formed into virtually any
size  and  shape and finished to duplicate the color
and texture of natural stone.    Whether your taste
is  traditional  or contemporary . . . . or anything in between . . . . concrete is an excellent material for
a very realistic looking stone hearth.

One of the best concrete blends currently being used is glass fiber reinforced concrete, or GFRC.  Known for its light weight, high strength and durability, it can  be  moulded  and finished to look like hand carved marble and limestone, as shown in the examples below.

If you prefer more of a rustic or casual look,  concrete can also be stamped and finished to look like split face granite . . . . . . . or cut fieldstone.

Regardless  of  which  material  or finish you choose for your custom or semi-custom stone faux fireplace,  you  will  find  a wide range of quality products and  skilled artisans to give you the look of natural stone at a fraction of the cost.    Not only will you save on the cost of the fireplace, itself,  but due to the lighter weight of faux stone products,  labor  costs  will  be  considerably lower because you won't need any additional footings or structural reinforce-
ment to support your new hearth.

If  you're looking for the best there is in a present day custom stone faux fireplace,  you need look no further than the quality products and highly skilled faux stone artisans behind the outstanding examples shown  here.

ucts and skilled artisans, please contact us.
