stone fireplaces

Masonry heating installations

Stone fireplaces are hearths constructed with natural stone as the primary material for the surround, mantel, or entire chimney structure.

The stone may be fieldstone, river rock, slate, marble, limestone, or granite—chosen for heat resistance and aesthetic appeal.

Stone fireplaces evoke rustic warmth in cabin settings or serve as dramatic focal points in contemporary homes: The massive stone fireplace dominated the lodge's great room.
