STONE FIREPLACE DESIGNS GUIDE
Standout Stacked Stone Fireplace Designs!

A stacked stone fireplace is,  for many of us,  the
ultimate in fireplace surrounds.    Carefully assem-
bled by master stone artisans,  the  placement of
each stone reflects the skill and artistry of its cre-
ator.    Each hand-crafted fireplace design is truly
unique  and -- in  many  cases -- a veritable work
of art!

To build a stone fireplace employing the dry stone
or dry stack method,  the stones are stacked hori-
zontally  and rely on the weight of the stones and friction  between  each  stone for strength and ar-
chitectural integrity.  Technically "mortarless," the stones  used  to  build  a  dry  stone  fireplace  --
though assembled tightly  together  --  sometimes
allow  for  a very narrow mortared bed joint that is
raked back deeply into the stone work so the  mor-
tar is undetectable.

The skill and craftsmanship employed in this construction method has been perfected  over  the  centuries,  resulting in many outstanding examples of the stone worker's art,  such  as the monumental design pictured above by Locati Architects.  As shown in the web pages outlined below, this method of  construction  can be used to create a wide and varied range of exciting looks to give you a truly unique, one of a kind stone hearth design!
