Stacked Stone for Fireplaces
Fireplaces are a natural gathering place and are often not just the focal point of a room, but often the focal point of the entire home, providing a respite of warmth, conversation, and meditation from the outside world. Experts agree that renovating a tired, worn out, and outdated fireplace has the same return on investment as updating a kitchen or bathroom, but with a much smaller price tag.
Corners are one of the most important details to choosing any stacked stone veneer for a fireplace. So we poured over every detail and concept for making the perfect corner.
After carefully manufacturing and testing one iteration after another, we eventually concluded that – for a thin natural stacked stone veneer to “turn a corner” properly – it had to be crafted using “fingers” that seamlessly interlock…as if they were made that way in nature.
There are other ways to finish a corner, such as using trim options, however after renovating tens of thousands of fireplaces we recommend you don’t settle for less than the finger joint system when it comes to this detail.
Designing a contemporary masterpiece? You’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re looking to turn an old brick fireplace into an ultra-modern fireplace using real stone or starting from a blank space and creating a stunning stone accent wall to command the attention of the room, natural stones are a popular choice to turn that vision into a reality, and our vast selection of styles, profiles, and colors are going to make that a breeze.
Natural stone veneer panels are a perfect choice for such a renovation because they are cost-effective and incredibly easy to install.
Norstone has a wide range of natural stones to choose from for stacked stone fireplaces ranging from easy-to-install panel systems to mason-laid individual stones for a truly bespoke look.
All types of natural stones can be used for fireplaces depending on the desired color and texture.
Whether you’re envisioning a rustic, colonial, contemporary, modern, or Old World space, color and design add up to making your project look just right. Natural Stone Colors vary naturally, which is what makes it an authentic material to incorporate into projects.
With a complete range of colors from the earth tones of Ochre Blend, to the high contrasts of White and Charcoal, to the very trendy neutral greys and darker palletes of our Platinum, Graphite, and Ebony, there is a natural stone veneer in our line up for any color scheme and design style. Natural stones inherently reflect nature, so choose a color and style that is native to the space.
Natural stone fireplaces are a timeless choice, seamlessly fitting into modern design trends. Many contemporary fireplaces feature long linear gas units that balance aesthetic beauty and heating efficiency. Traditional stacked stone fireplaces also remain popular, especially when paired with modern finishes like white stone or honed dimensional panels.
When expertly crafted, stacked stone fireplaces offer a timeless look and are proven to retain value, making them an ideal home improvement project, particularly when you consider how a simple this update can be. Norstone Rock Panels are the preferred choice of top designers and installers for premium fireplace renovations and new builds.
Whether you’re renovating an old brick fireplace, or building one anew, our world-class customer service team will walk you through the right process for you. During a fireplace renovation, you tend to encounter more obstacles than if you are building new. For example, is your existing fireplace built from brick? Is it flat drywall? There are different ways to handle each of these conditions.
