Stone Fireplace Designs-Wood Burning Fireplace Makeover in Berlin Ledge

There’s nothing quite like the smell of burning firewood in the living room. The crackle of the fire, the warm glow, all these elements create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Gas or electric fireplace construction has practicality and cost effectiveness but nothing beats the real thing.

Real wood burning fireplaces are costly and high maintenance but for some it’s all about authenticity. Stone fireplace designs are rapidly progressing with new dynamic stone veneer textures and styles. The minimalist and modernist has created a niche for a sleek stone fireplace look but what about the traditionalists? For them the challenge is greater: the layout of the preliminary fireplace chimney construction must be taken into account. Be considerate of fireplace chimney construction layouts before moving on the stone fireplace designs.

There are a few things to consider when planning to redecorate and old chimney. For one, and perhaps the most important point of all is to plan well ahead. Look closely at the chimney and ask yourself what stone would be best suited to cover the area effectively. Stone Selex offers many different rustic stone textures that will work with your stone fireplace designs.

A large stone like Rustic Rubble or River Rock is best suited to cover large areas. To imitate the look of the stones within their natural settings you need to closely analyze how all shapes work together. A thin and narrow chimney will look crowded and inorganic if crowded with large and heavy stones of this nature. For thinner chimneys we recommend a stone like Ledge. It’s smaller shape still creates the rustic chimney look but won’t clutter the surface area.
