Stone and marble are undoubtedly excellent materials for the construction of fireplaces. Besides, the decoration by marble and stone fireplace dates back to the Renaissance, when the fireworks were on its true triumph with its elaborate details, making it truly embossed or holly elegant. Since then, famous architects and sculptors have excelled as designers and manufacturers of fireplaces, using natural decorative rocks for their creations.

The fireplace is always one of the most beloved elements in house's construction. Because beyond its utilitarian value it creates an atmosphere of tranquility and warmth that especially modern people have more need than ever.The way of life is so stressed and the rhythms are so intense, that for today's people, the house, apart from a living space, which clearly meets everyday practical needs, is also a road of relaxation microcosm. It is its own castle, where it can be mentally refilled, rest and come in contact with loved ones. Consequently, the more the demands of everyday life remove the man from home, the more intense the need becomes, the modern homes are equipped with various elements that aim to offer small moments of pleasure to their owner, discharging him from his fatigue day. The "fireplace" of the fireplace, where burning wood is, is also a word that refers to the concept of the house. By playing with the words, it can be said that the lit fireplace can really give warmth, not only in the sense of heating but also in the sense of a beautiful atmosphere, transforming a home into a "home" of relaxation, mental rest and enjoyment. Thus, the fireplace, as well as the Jacuzzi or even home cinema are now found in more and more homes, as everybody wants their free time, since they are not quantitative, at least qualitatively good. Perhaps the reasons why the fireplace recovers its leading role may have changed. The image of the controlled flame, however, continues to enchant people and at the same time can rest their gaze from the TV and computer images that make people quiet. The comfortable sofa next to the fireplace now houses friends and the modern family that can be gathered, share thoughts and feelings. The fireplace is nowadays an affordable luxury, and the technological development of the sector, which has reached a level where the range of choices is really enormous, has also been heightened. There are models in the market that cover every need and at the same time the price range can cover any budget. Increased demand has created a corresponding supply of not only functional but also aesthetic solutions. Today, the fireplace, regardless of its technical characteristics and operating mode, which have varied considerably compared to the past, is still a separate element of interior design that adds value to a space. In many cases, its decorative value can be of prime importance, perhaps even the only reason to get a fireplace. When, therefore, the aesthetic effect is analogous to thermal performance, attention focuses on the style of the fireplace liner and the effect of the flame. For the investment, there are many ready-made solutions on the market and many more proposals, especially marble, that can be designed by designers and implemented by specialized companies. The type and technology of the fireplace does not affect both the lining and the effect of the flame. Viewing the controlled flame in an open fireplace, where one has the illusion that stretching his hand will touch the fire, is quite different from a closed fireplace. The refractory glass filters the final image, offering a different visual set. In the case of gas fireplaces, the flame leaves its traditional form, emerges even from pebbles or glass, and at the same time may have different colors and a controlled tone. In addition, for a fireplace, which is clearly treated as a decorative element, the open-air economic solution can be selected and the surrounding environment, especially marble, to be taken further. Even if such a fireplace never works, the visual effect of the flame may be by adding lighted candles or a gas basket decorative gas device to the recess. The style of investment As far as the final shape of the surrounding fireplace construction is concerned, it is noted that it is usually a permanent structure that dominates wherever it is. Therefore, the way the fireplace is placed in the space and the style of its outer lining must be in harmony with the whole decoration and the architecture of the building, in order to give an aesthetically even result. Today there is no restriction either on material choices or on forms. On the contrary, there is an incredible plurality of artistic views and aesthetic tendencies that sometimes draw inspiration from the past or the present and sometimes from the future.
