The Breckenridge Lane Home Depot store in Louisville (KY) recently began showcasing a Fire Rock outdoor fireplace.
The Mountain Stone you see on the exterior of the fireplace unit is also available in that location.
Grey Southern Ledge was selected for this installation, which was done by Michael Gray of Stone Creations.
The fireplace is a 36″ Fire Rock Garden unit and we also installed 22′ X 22″ Windsor Grey Hearthstones from Mountain Stone Products.
Mountain Stone products are currently offered in selected regional Home Depot markets and are now adding the Fire Rock fireplace.
The fireplace unit you see pictured above is intended to be used outside and can be veneered with brick or stone.
You can also add firewood boxes, built-in grills and additional chimney height, along with a few other features.
Fire Rock specializes in a pre-engineered masonry fireplace system suitable for indoor or outdoor fireplaces.
Fire Rock products utilize volcanic pumice and calcium aluminates cements to form refractory components that reflect heat back into the home.
Fire Rock products install in a fraction of the time it used to take to build a fireplace.
The components are designed to ensure proper draw on every firebox.
The Fire Rock system is American made, patented, and tested to UL standards.
