Herringbone-Patterned Firebrick Takes Style to Hearth
Fireplaces cross over into craftsmanship territory when the brick inside is laid in this graphic pattern
As my husband and I gear up for our living room renovation, I've had fireplaces on my mind. More specifically I've been dreaming of herringbone-patterned firebrick. Firebrick lines a firebox and keeps the fire’s heat from wrecking the materials in and around the fireplace. It can also withstand temperatures up to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit — a fascinating fact. But beyond its practical purpose, I'm drawn to its aesthetics.
Available in several colors, firebrick can be installed in all the standard brick patterns, although I'm especially over the moon for the herringbone pattern. As the foundation of a fireplace design, herringbone firebrick creates a graphic focal point that plays a large part in the fireplace's final design style.
