Fireplace Fix Up?
Fireplace Fix UpBefore you start any remodeling project, you are going to need to decide on what you want the final product to look like. Take the materials into account when you think about installation time. Marble is extremely easy to install over a brick fireplace because you do not need to knock out the existing brickwork. Look through home-improvement style magazines until you decide on what you want.Measure everything about your fireplace. This means height, width, depth and so on. If any part of it sticks out more than another you will need to take note of that as well. Double and triple check the measurements to make sure that you buy the right amount of materials to cover the area. If you come up short and need to order more, the colors will not match because of natural difference in marble growth or clay batches.If you are replacing old bricks for new, start from the top. A mason's hammer will be your best friend during this process. Make sure the wall is nice and flat before building up the new brickwork.If you are installing marble or tile, the process is much easier. Cut the marble or tile to the right size and lay it right on top of the existing fireplace. The store you bought your materials at can cut them for you if you are not able to.If you update the outer casing you will need to treat it with heat-resistant paint.Put in the surround and enjoy the new fireplace!
