10 Luxurious Examples of Stacked Stone Fireplaces

Stacked stone is a great way to create a natural stone look on walls, chimneys, and columns, and one of the best places to use this construction technique is on a stacked stone fireplace. For hundreds, even thousands, of years, fireplaces have been constructed with stone because of its fire resistance and natural beauty.

What Is a Stacked Stone Fireplace?

A stacked stone fireplace creates the look of thin, rectangular stones stacked on top of one another with little to no grout in between the stones. This creates a layered look that can be monochromatic or include a variety of colors.

Today, these looks are commonly created with natural veneer stone panels that are thinner and lighter than the full stones would be, This makes it easier to install while capturing the same look of a natural stone fireplace.

Stacked stone panels are made of stones that are cut, fit, and glued together, so while they should still be handled carefully to avoid breakage, they are easier and faster to install than individual stones.

Mantels are a traditional part of a fireplace meant to help the Fireplace retain heat. In some cases, eliminating the mantel can be a design decision that enhances a streamlined look and feel. The stacked stone panels add depth and dimension, and you can still achieve a dimensional look without the mantle.

9. Use a Mix of Natural Materials for your Stacked Stone Fireplace
