Stone Hearth Installation for Delafield Basement Remodel

Stone Hearth Installation for Delafield Basement Remodel

What you’re looking at here is a fireplace hearth we designed and built around an existing fireplace. The homeowners were remodeling their basement and already had a fireplace they liked, but they wanted something special for the hearth. So, naturally, they chose Badgerland Fireplace for the job.

Although it looks like real stone, what you see here is actually man-made—a veneer called "Dressed Fieldstone" by Cultured Stone®. The color here is Chardonnay, a subtle blend of grey, tan and rose tones.  Grey mortar joints bring out the grey tones, and “Taupe” keystones above the arch in the fireplace give the hearth visual interest. The hearthstones, also from Cultured Stone, sit about 6” above the floor—a little lower than most real fireplaces, but high enough to give a first impression that this is a wood-burning fireplace. The color on these is “Marsh.”

Incidentally, one of the nice things about Cultured Stone (and some of our other brands) is how they offer hearthstones and key stones that coordinate beautifully with their stone veneers. Makes choosing colors a bit easier!

While the Heat & Glo and Heatilator gas fireplaces we carry are some of the best engineered and most energy-efficient fireplaces on the market, you don’t have to purchase a fireplace from us to get our expert stone masons to install your hearth. We can build around whatever fireplace you have, or plan to have installed. Obviously, we’re a little biased, but no one does better work than our Waukesha fireplace designers and installers.
