Masonry Fireplaces

Rock & roll lite

If you're a traditionalist, there is only one type of fireplace. For centuries, skilled masons have painstakingly built impressive fireplaces of stone, rock and brick. You'll find them in castles centuries old, and in the largest, most elegant homes. Trouble is, these days a hand-built masonry fireplace (as well as the chimney it requires) is staggeringly expensive…and the weight of solid stone requires massive structural reinforcement, and of course, installing one on an upper level is out of the question in today's homes.

But, that doesn't mean you can't bring the incomparable feel and appearance of a natural stone fireplace into your home or to your patio. Mason-Lite creates true masonry fireboxes at a fraction of the cost and weight of hand-built fireplaces. They can be used with pre-manufactured chimneys, and installed in virtually any room. They are most appropriate in combination with with gas logs.

Also, check out the Flue Sentinel, which electronically opens and closes your chimney's damper in conjunction with the operation of gas logs. It is a great, energy efficient way to avoid having to use glass doors in conjunction with your logs. Designed primarily for use in new construction, the Flue Sentinel is an ideal complement to a Mason-Lite fireplace.
