BURNTECH VS SITE-BUILT MASONRY

Here are the reasons why Burntech fireplaces are the smart choice for builders when comparing to site built masonry fireplaces.

• Innovation in design and technology allows Burntech Masonry Fireplaces to be installed by 1 person in only a few hours saving valuable time and material costs. A traditional site built masonry fireplace requires at least 3 people and can take up to 7 days to install wasting several thousands of dollars.




• Burntech fireplaces are engineered and tested to UL 127 Standards to ensure a safe and efficient fireplace every time. Site built masonry fireplaces are not tested to any standard and can have potentially dangerous flaws. Also, site built fireplaces rely on the guesswork of a mason which can lead to an inefficient fireplace with a tendency to billow smoke back into a room.




• Burntech fireplaces have a lifetime warranty on all manufactured parts. Site built masonry fireplaces have no warranty.




• Burntech Fireplace Installation requires only basic construction skills and a clear understanding of our installation manual for installation. Site built fireplaces require a skilled mason trained in the art of fireplace construction.




• Flexibility in design and light-weight pumice aggregate allows the Burntech fireplaces to be installed on multi-floor wood framing. Site built fireplaces require a massive foundation and a multi-story masonry and concrete shell to carry the weight of a site built masonry fireplace.




• Half the Cost. Even though both fireplaces have the exact same finished look, a Burntech Fireplace costs less than half the cost of building a traditional site built fireplace.
