The fireplaces are under construction.
Fireplace # 1in the family room
Fireplace #2 is outdoors
These fireplaces are called Isokern Fireplaces made from volcanic rock.
The great thing about them is that you can install an entire fireplace in one
day. They come from Denmark. We ordered the Firelite series which permits you to
install the fireplace on a wooden floor. However a large piece of sheet metal
has to be installed on the floor before the fireplace goes in. Also, with the
Firelite series, the hearth has to be at least 12 inches from the floor.
Our installer failed to put the required sheet metal down first and the hearth
was not high enuf. He installed it as if he were installing a Magnum fireplace.
He had to get a crane and lift the entire fireplace up with a crane inserted the
required sheet metal and built the hearth up to 12 inches. So now we have a
Fitelite fireplace. We had to do this for both fireplaces.
You can leave a firelite fireplace as is but we built a
wood frame around our chimney because we thought it looked too skinny. Then we
had genuine stucco artisans install a metal lathe they stuccoed over it.
When they finished, Juan and Jose colorized the stucco using the patch kit
supplied by DAC-ART. They even installed fake grout-lines to make the chimneys
look like DAC-ART. We are searching for antique chimney pots that deserve to be
installed on our chimneys. We placed a call to local potters, Seaoats
Studio, but have not heard back.
