  • What materials are best for outdoor fireplaces?

    The best materials for outdoor fireplaces vary based on your style preferences and local climate. Popular choices include natural stone, brick, and concrete. Stone is durable and gives a natural look, while brick offers a classic appearance. Concrete is flexible and can be shaped into various designs. At Architerra, we'll help you pick the right material based on your style and local weather.

  • How do I maintain my outdoor fireplace?

    Regular maintenance keeps your outdoor fireplace safe and long-lasting. Clean out ashes and debris often, clean the firebox, and check for any cracks or damage. For wood-burning fireplaces, clean the chimney yearly. Gas fireplaces need professional checks of gas lines and parts. Always follow the maker's guidelines and local rules. Architerra can give you specific care tips for your outdoor fireplace design.

  • Can an outdoor fireplace be used year-round?

    Yes, you can enjoy outdoor fireplaces all year, especially when they're well-designed and placed. In cold months, they provide warmth and coziness. During warmer times, they're beautiful centerpieces for gatherings, even when not lit. To use your fireplace year-round, think about wind direction, seating layout, and overhead cover. Architerra designs outdoor fireplaces with these factors in mind to ensure comfort and usefulness in all seasons.
