3 Ways Stone Fireplaces Add Value to Your Home
Unmatched beauty
Stone brings in the beauty of the outdoors. The natural tones mix and match well with different materials inside your home. No matter what your taste is for decorating, you can find a stone that enhances your home environment while being classic instead of trendy. There are many types of stone that can complement a setting whether rustic or elegant, traditional or modern, or of Victorian or pioneer influence. Consider a customized limestone, bluestone, and sandstone surround for a unique beauty that you cannot find in most products today.
An impressive statement
Nothing compares to the statement a natural stone fireplace produces. Natural stone accents are valued for their unique attributes and create an impressive structure that is an instant focal point. Known for its strength, stone is a luxurious option that makes a grand statement time and time again. Thin stone veneer is a good choice for designing an artistic structure that has the right blend of colors and shapes while also giving a quality, polished look. You can have rectangle and square patterns, drystack stone, or freeform, irregularly-shaped wall stone patterns. To make the room look larger, install the thin stone from floor to ceiling or wall to wall and you are sure to make a strong impact!
Low maintenance
With stone, you get instant appeal that is effortlessly elegant and exceptionally durable. While different stone materials have different levels of hardness and durability, the natural surface is long-lasting and will blend in if it chips or scratches. It doesn’t require much care if it is properly sealed and protected after being newly installed. A natural stone, such as limestone, can stand up to decades of use and will continue to look more naturally beautiful over time.
