Installing a Stone Outdoor Fireplace
There are different types of outdoor fireplaces. As a homeowner, there are a number of factors you will need to consider before choosing a particular type of outdoor fireplace. Some of these factors include materials, fuel source, size, and placement.
Material
There are various materials that can be used in the construction and installation of outdoor stone fireplaces. These include; tile, marble, stone and brick. When choosing which one of these materials you will need to choose one that complements the rest of your outdoor décor.
Fuel Source
It would be more convenient to use the same type of fuel for your fireplace as the rest of your home. However, perhaps you want to go a different route and create a more rustic look in which case wood would be perfect. Keep in mind that you will need a storage wood for the firewood to keep it dry. We will help integrate the storage space into your design.
Size
You might want an outdoor stone fireplace that is grand. However, the space of your backyard will determine how large a fireplace to be installed. Note that gas-fueled fireplaces require shorter exhaust pipes than fireplaces fueled by firewood.
Placement
The location of your fireplace might be restricted by local zoning codes. Have no fear though, Fairfield Masonry will help you install your outdoor stone fireplace within the precincts of Fairfield zoning codes.
Outdoor Fireplace Repair and Cleaning
Any use of your outdoor fireplace will lead to the production of creosote. This is a tar-like substance that occurs when smoke from the fireplace condenses. To keep the accumulation of creosote, ash, and soot from reaching dangerous levels routine fireplace cleaning is necessary.
Fairfield Masonry will not only keep your outdoor stone fireplace clean but we can conduct any fireplace repair to ensure that your outdoor fireplace continues to perform at optimum levels.
