How to Care for a Cultured Stone Fireplace

The associates at Native Custom Stone have already taught us how to install a cultured stone fireplace using their stone panels, but now we need to talk about the proper way to care for a cultured stone fireplace to keep it looking great for years to come.

It doesn’t take much to care for your cultured stone fireplace, all you will need is:

    • A Vacuum Cleaner with Brush Attachment
    • A Vacuum Hose Extension
    • Broom 
    • Water 
    • Cleaning Rag
  • Cultured Stone Fireplace | Manufactured Stone | Native Custom StoneStep 1 – Vacuum the entire surface of your fireplace. Make sure to get mantles and remove all décor to ensure a thorough cleaning. Use your vacuum’s brush attachment to gently loosen the dust and debris, you don’t want to use the exposed hose and accidentally scratch your stone. Use the extender for high or hard to reach places.
  • Step 2 – Use a rag moistened with water, or manufactured stone cleaner if your prefer, to get rid of stubborn spots of debris. Make sure that you allow the cleaner to dry completely before lighting a new fire, as some of the chemicals can be flammable.
  • Step 3 – Use your broom to sweep up any mess made that the vacuuming may have missed or knocked to the floor. For extra cleaning power use your wet rag to get in the grout along the base of your fireplace, and to wipe up stubborn dust that may be on the floor.

Native Custom Stone recommends that you do this once a month to maintain a beautiful fireplace. These same methods can be used on interior and exterior fireplaces, though your exterior fireplace may need a little extra elbow grease and hose down to get it clean.

If you haven’t already chosen to install a cultured stone fireplace, find your closest Native Custom Stone vendor to choose the perfect cultured stone for a beautiful new fireplace.

Choosing the Right Manufactured Stone Fireplace Veneer

Manufactured stone fireplace resources are out there – you just have to choose the one, or two, that you like the best and then put them to the test. For an interior fireplace a quality stone veneer is one of the best products on the market because it looks and feels like traditional stone but it is far less expensive and easier to install. The question is, how can you use it to fit your fireplace needs?

Manufactured Stone FireplaceThere are many ways to choose the right manufactured stone fireplace veneer. You could start with color. A variety of colors are available, including colors that can create the perfect stone hearth in a traditional form or the most modern. You can also choose materials with specific details, such as those that are tumbled or those that look as if they are weathered. Some love that old, aged look along their fireplace walls. You can also select a pattern that suits your needs. Consider the geometric affects of what you select and how well the colors and pattern play off other hard elements in the room.

To gather a few more fireplace ideas for manufactured stone veneers, do consider the various ways you can use it. For example, you can place it to cover the entire wall surrounding your fireplace. On the other hand, you can use it just to create a hearth, where your fires burn within their own firebox. Check the specifications on this material to know the heat level it can manage.

Overall, there are many ways to create beautiful manufactured stone veneer fireplaces. The creativity is up to you. The only limitations you have are for your overall needs in budget and with the space. Take a good, long look at your options. You may just find that a combination of options can work well to create exactly what you are looking for in a stone fireplace.
