Installing an open stone fireplace in your home with your local stone masons
An open stone fireplace in a living room is often a picture-perfect place for the Christmas period. The feeling of warmth combined with perfect decorations and a selection of well-picked logs conjure up the perfect cold Christmas morning made better with a roaring fire. An open fireplace is not only a great way to quickly heat a room but offers a sense of timeless elegance no matter your layout. Whether you are currently using a wood burner in your fireplace or you have a traditional chimneypiece and open grate, updating your fireplace surround with the support of your local stone masons is a great way to improve the finish of your room and offers you a perfect place to stage some fantastic Christmas decorations!
Open stone fireplaces are versatile and able to handle a wide range of different types of stoves and fire, so you will have your pick when it comes to finding the perfect fit. For a truly traditional look that matches a more rustic design, a bespoke stone fireplace is a perfect option to achieve what you are looking for. Coulon Stone has over 22 years of experience in the design and creation of custom-made open-stone fireplaces for a variety of homes and styles.
Don’t forget your fireplace hearth
Fireplace hearths are primarily for safety purposes, as open flames can be dangerous when near combustible materials. The hearth extends outwards to catch any embers, ash or other materials that could catch fire and supports directly underneath the fireplace as a surface that will not crack. Fireplace hearths also offer a decorative function, making your fireplace look complete and providing a safe distance from any hot materials – particularly important if you have a carpet or rug close by.
Using stone for your fireplace hearth is a great way to have both a decorative and safe material for the base of your open fire. Coulon Stone offers a variety of stone materials for hearths and fireplaces alike, including Bath Stone, Portland Stone, York Stone, limestone, slate, granite and marble, as they are heat resistant and easy to maintain. Not only will you have a durable and versatile stone material, but these stone choices are carvable, enabling our masonry team to create elegant and bespoke hand-finished fireplaces.
