Stone For Fireplace

Stone for Fireplace DIY Installation is Possible

Using manufactured stone veneer in stone for fireplace installations makes sense not only from an affordability point of view, where stone veneer is much less expensive than real stone, but also from the standpoint of ease of installation. Because of its lighter weight when compared to real stone, manufactured stone veneer is easier to handle and will not usually require structural modifications to your home. In comparison, the weight of natural stone may require reinforcement or reinforcing supports in order to add real stone to a fireplace, surround, mantel and/or wall. With fireplace stone veneer, which is much less expensive to purchase than real stone, its lightweight properties are such that it can be installed over most existing surfaces without structural reinforcing.
