A masonry fireplace is an outdoor fireplace constructed from brick, natural stones, or blocks of some type that are meant to emulate a stone edifice. Masonry fireplaces are becoming more popular in Houston, because so many of our older homes were not built with indoor fireplaces. Residents are now beginning to see the value of adding an outdoor fireplace to their property to lend amenity and comfort to luxury Houston outdoor living.A masonry fireplace can be a simple addition to a rear garden or a towering edifice that looms majestically in the night sky. It can burn wood logs, or it can be designed to burn natural gas or propane so the homeowner does not have to deal with smoke, sparks, ashes, or the cost of buying firewood.
There are many reasons why a Houston family would want to have an outdoor fireplace built in their yard. Even though Houston winters are technically mild, there is nothing mild about our humidity. Once the outdoor temperature drops below 65 degrees on a very humid night, the chill can go right through the skin to the bones. Having a warm fire dispels the humidity and brings the temperature back up to what we are used to for most of year here in Southeast Texas.
