Masonry fireplaces are built at the same time as your home. The mason who creates the fireplace designs it in such a way that it becomes part of your home structure. You can call it a work of art! The interior of a masonry fireplace is crafted from mortar and brick or stone, while the exterior portion that you see and enjoy in your living space may be made of matching materials like stone, marble, granite, and yes even tile. Built to last a lifetime, they are meant to be a focal point in your home. Upgrade your fireplace with one of our custom masonry doors. Don't worry we are not forgetting about the outdoors, you can beautify that too! There are fireplace doors for outside that are specifically made with materials that will resist the wear and tear that comes along with nature.
Masonry Firebox
A firebox is the part of the fireplace where the fire burns. So it must be able to withstand the heat that is generated from the fire. The type of fireplace you have will depend on if your firebox is brick or metal. Masonry fireplaces as stated above are built from bricks or stone and typically have a brick firebox.
Prefab Firebox
These fireplaces are made in the factory and can be seen in newer homes. The inside of the prefab firebox is usually built from solid sheets of metal. To prevent the fire’s heat from penetrating and damaging the firebox, they have refractory panels inside which look like bricks.
Masonry fireplaces come in many shapes and sizes. Each one is unique to the house it was built in. There is everything from the standard square masonry fireplace (as pictured above), to elegant arched masonry fireplaces. Some masonry fireplaces have a raised hearth where others have the hearth level with the floor of the firebox. Knowing the details of your masonry fireplace will help tremendously when purchasing a masonry fireplace door. So if you're not familiar with the details, go check out your masonry fireplace after reading this guide. Many of these differences come into play when ordering a masonry fireplace door so it's best to know what you are working with beforehand.
Masonry fireplaces are built and designed to last you a lifetime, and are generally constructed when the house or structure is being built. Prefab fireplaces are fabricated fireboxes made with metal that contain refractory brick panels. The masonry fireplaces can also withstand more heat than the prefab fireplaces. But then again prefab fireplaces have metal flues, that are easier to clean than your brick masonry firebox. Prefab fireplaces are also more reasonably priced. Masonry fireplaces are built on-site by the mason at the same time the house is being built while the prefab firebox is built in a factory. A good rule of thumb when trying to figure out what type of fireplace you have is the presence of black metal. If there is a lot of black metal surrounding your fireplace door or firebox then you most likely have a prefab fireplace. As you can see in the picture above, an empty masonry fireplace is made completely from brick or stone and there is no metal present.
