|
|
A stone fireplace surround can be a welcome addition to any home. The visual appeal of the stone fireplace surround is a positive for most home buyers, adding to the value of the property at time of sale. One disadvantage that many consumers fail to identify when deciding on a stone fireplace surround is the inability to hang pictures or other objects on the stone surface. This can hinder holiday decorating and leave the room with only one visual setting for the duration of the home ownership.On the positive side, the stone fireplace surround adds a look of distinction to the right home and often becomes the focal point of any abode, giving it a warm and inviting appeal. When using natural stone in the construction of a stone fireplace surround, the stone often acts like a heat sink, retaining heat from the fireplace and radiating it back into the room long after the fire has subsided. A stone fireplace surround can also link the interior of a home with architecture and landscaping outside of the home if the same type of stone is used both inside and out.
