When
deciding on a brick fireplace, have a look at the selection
of bricks that the fireplace showroom can offer. Many local
bricks come in a wide variety of colours and you may want to
specify designs, which concentrate on one colour rather, than
accepting the whole range available from a ‘multi’
brick manufacturer. Also have a look at the option of reclaimed
bricks. These are available at specialist fireplace salvage
showrooms such as Cambridge based Solopark. The bricks have
an authentic old feel and are often available in a wide selection
of colours.
Make sure that your fireplace showroom employs an experienced
fireplace bricklayer. Any brick layer may know how to lay bricks
but the skills of the fireplace craftsmen lie in his ability
to construct the fireplace in exactly the way the customer want
and to get the proportions right.
