Masonry Heater Veneer Kits

Once the masonry heater core is complete, you wrap the core with a masonry veneer. The veneer serves a number of purposes, one practical and one aesthetic.

Asthetically, the veneer matches your heater with your home decor, making it fit into your home like a piece of furniture. Benches, shelves, and cast iron decorations can all be added in order to dress up your heater and make it fit into your home and life.

Practically, the veneer adds more mass to the heater, allowing the heater to store more heat and release it slowly over a number of hours. Different types of veneer have different heating characteristics, but generally, the thinner and lighter the veneer, the faster the heater surface will heat up and cool.

Traditionally, each veneer was created specifically for a given heater application in a given home and installed in a more or less one-off manner. Following the same model as our heater cores, we've developed a series of veneer kits in various materials. The parts in the kits all come pre-cut, with all the pieces and mortars or adhesives necessary to join the parts together precisely and rapidly so the do-it-yourselfer or contractor can quickly complete the veneer saving time and money, and without the need to source any additional materials.

We invite you to consider the area you want to heat, and look below for the masonry heater veneer kit which best fits your needs and heater core.

What would have traditionally taken a brick mason days to complete before stucco application now just takes a few hours, saving you time and money over a traditional stuccoed brick, while giving you better performance.	Cast Concrete Cast Concrete is an economic, durable option for veneering a heater, while not sacrificing heat storage capacity or heater performance.
