Masonry wood fireplace
Classic brick or stone structure built into your home.
Masonry wood fireplaces offer a traditional look and feel with the warmth of real wood. They are custom-built and integrated into your home’s architecture. These fireplaces often feature brick or stone and can last a lifetime with proper care. They require a chimney to vent exhaust gases safely outside.
Regular maintenance is key to a safe and efficient masonry fireplace. Annual chimney cleaning and inspections help prevent accumulation of creosote and ensure the structure remains sound. Masonry can deteriorate over time, so keep an eye out for any visible damage.
Masonry fireplaces should be checked for cracks in the mortar and potential blockages in the chimney. Installing a chimney cap can reduce debris entry and animal nesting, protecting your chimney year-round.
Keep it well
- Schedule annual chimney cleaning.
- Inspect the mortar for cracks regularly.
- Use seasoned wood to reduce creosote buildup.
- Install a chimney cap to prevent debris entry.
