linda | Posted - 20 December 2002 10:48    I am looking into purchasing a fireplace system made of a volcanic product. It is lighter weight than masonry, but seems to have many advantages. Have any of you used this sytem? Were there problems? Would you use it again? |
youngkeit4 | Posted - 28 February 2003 11:37 Volcanic stone is a rock material with a foam texture. It can be used in the mortar as well making the structure even lighter. The smoke stains near a fireplace will be much harder to clean if the texture of the surface is foam-like. Cultured stone surfaces with volcanic product backing will be your best bet. |
