An outside fireplace with a pebble wall

Using large pebbles to create a different cladding for an outside fireplace

Housed in an outdoor entertainment area, this outside fireplace is clad in large scale Eggshell pebbles. Complimenting the sandstone Clancy random ashlar walling that follows beside the fireplace, the pebble clad wall brings this fireplace into focus.

So you’re renovating or designing your new home and thinking about including a fireplace. Whether you decide to create a large scale outdoor fireplace for alfresco dining all year round or a clean, modern fireplace that is the central focus for your interior living room, finishing detail is key.

 

One of the most important considerations is how your fireplace design will be finished. We think it’s always best to find solutions that make the fireplace appear as if it’s a solid structure and part of the built environment, rather than a veneer wall. This means thinking about capping and corner detail. Does your fireplace run into a wall or will it be free-standing? What natural stone tiles or stone cladding will best suit the colours or textures of your home?

 

Whether it’s an outside fireplace or one inside the home, it’s essential to consider these elements before you finalise your choice of stone cladding.
