Outdoor Fireplace Designs... Expand Your Living Area!
Due to the popularity of outdoor fireplace designs, an amazing array of unique and innovative creations have been introduced in the past few years . . . . .
Fashioned from a vast range of materials in nearly every conceivable size and shape, they appeal to a wide variety of tastes and budgets!
Now it's possible to expand and enhance your living area by simply extend- ing
your interior living space to the out-of-doors . . . without the mess and
costs normally associated with "room addition" home remodeling projects.
Create dramatic al fresco living space for entertaining family and friends
right at home. Save money and redefine the term, "dining out," in today's tight economy
while, at the same time, adding value to your home.
An
outdoor fireplace
will anchor your
outdoor living area
and provide a focal
point that beckons everyone to gather around. Just imagine the wonderful
memories that will be created as you and your family enjoy the warm and cozy outdoor
hearth for many years to come.
When planning your outdoor fireplace design, be sure that it is in scale with your home and yard. Try to match the style with that of your home and, whenever possible, incorporate architectural details and materials used in the design of your home. Pay particular attention to the chimney or chim- neys rising from your home when planning your fireplace design, as this will help to tie it all together. The end result? A pleasing, well-balanced com- position that "fits right in" . . . naturally.

For the purist, an all masonry fireplace can be built. However, be prepared to spend consid- erably more for footings, possible engineering and soil testing services, and skilled masons. On the other hand, there are several very good prefabricated units available today. Made from galvanized steel or a durable light weight concrete product consisting of vol- canic ash and cinders, they come with un- finished exteriors so that you can face them with any of one or more materials to match the exterior of your home.
Whether a masonry or a prefabricated unit, you can face it with brick . . .
or stone, for a very traditional look . . .

or even a combination of the two, for a quaint picturesque look.
For a sleek contemporary look, you may want a polished stainless
steel surround . . .
or a wrapped steel stack on a rotating base.
If a traditional southwestern style is more appropriate for your
outdoor setting, then a stucco surround . . .
or even a Pueblo Revival adobe facing may be just what you need.
For just about any look, whatsoever -- traditional to contemporary -- a concrete surround may
provide the ideal solution. Concrete is extremely versatile and can be molded into virtually
any shape or form. It can also be finished in a wide variety of colors and textures, as the
following examples clearly show.
When it comes to outdoor fireplace designs, the sky truly IS the limit. With a little imagination,
you can create one that is just right for you!
