Do you dread the winter season? Do those cold nights make you just want to snuggle deeper in your sheets? If this is your case then surely you have been thinking of making your winter days better. There’s no better solution than investing in a natural stone fireplace.
For time immemorial they have proven to be one of the best home investments. Firstly, they offer the warmth and heat that you have been craving during cold days. Secondly, they save immensely on utility costs. A furnace takes up a lot of energy and it can cause a dent in your pocket. Besides they offer the perfect mood for those romantic evenings – adding to a cozy and serene ambiance.
Choosing The Right Natural Stone For Your Fireplace
A natural stone fireplace is always the go-to choice when you are looking to build something sustainable and beautiful. It is not only durable but maintenance-free, efficient, aesthetically appealing, and resistant to discretion. In this case, it is resistant to heat and can handle extremely high temperatures.
There are a variety of natural stones to choose from for your fireplace. We’ve listed a few of them below.
1. Granite
Granite is an igneous rock formed when magma solidifies and cools. The high temperatures it undergoes make it a great option for use in a fireplace. Thus, even when a hot object is placed on it, the stone will not damage. Granite is not only durable but is easy to clean and maintain.
There are many granite stone options to choose from at Madhav Marbles and Granites to create exceptional natural stone fireplace designs. If you have a penchant for a traditional-looking fireplace, Absolute Black Granite can be a great option. Brown, grey, and burgundy specks on a fiery orange background provide a bold look.
2. Marble
Marble is without a doubt the most elegant natural stone. It easily blends into any design style such as Victorian and Edwardian as it always retains its classic style. However, a vertical arrangement of marble is the most popular design you will find in any living space. It enables the stone to retain heat, reduces high traffic on the arrangement, and is easy to clean.
Madhav Marbles and Granites has a huge collection of marble to choose from for your natural stone fireplace. For instance, you can opt for a bold color such as Rainforest Green. The rich brown veining pattern against the green background will ensure that your fireplace is the center of attraction.
3. Sandstone
A natural stone fireplace made of sandstone is a great look for your interior space. It can be cut into any design, shape, and preference. The best part of it is that it is lightweight and thus easy to install. Also, the stone blends easily with all spatial settings. For instance, Teakwood Sandstone gives a woody look and feel from a distance. Its dark brown veins on a lighter base mimic the intrinsic pattern of the wood.
Benefits Of Using Natural Stone For A Fireplace
For most people choosing a natural stone fireplace can seem a bit odd. Natural stone is mostly used for flooring, countertops, bathrooms, and ceilings. Choosing this option, however, has many benefits:
1. It retains maximum heat
During cold seasons this material radiates heat everywhere. Marble is a good conductor of heat and radiates warmth effectively.

All-natural stone fireplaces are easy to maintain and clean. However, a stone-like marble is porous and so it should be sealed properly.

4. Integrates well with most interior decor

5. Fits perfectly with any fireplace design
Natural stone can be cut into your desired shapes and sizes. More so they fit perfectly to all designs you have in mind.
