Vanguard’s Mosaic Masonry™ technology is a
dramatic development that will change the way
you think about the fireplace. This technology
combines traditional appearance and traditional
materials with modern assembly techniques to
create a fireplace that is unparalleled in its
beauty and value.
Two trends related to today’s homes make
our patent-pending Mosaic Masonry™ technology
significant. First, homeowners want distinctive,
high quality products in their home. Surveys
of top home builders and buyers alike confirm
that homeowners are paying more attention to
the details in their homes, and are looking for
choices and selections to make their homes
more attractive, more distinctive, more valuable.
Secondly, people also want convenience. We all
want home products that are easy to install, and
are easy to operate. The Mosaic Masonry™
technology does both these things.
There are two types of fireplaces on the
market today: One, a masonry fireplace, is built
brick-by-brick by a skilled mason. These are the
oldest fireplaces, and considered the aesthetic
standard for all fireplaces. The second type of
fireplace is a prefabricated fireplace, with
factory-built components that are available at a
fraction of the cost of a regular masonry fireplace.
These fireplaces are tested and certified to
established safety standards, and are available in
both gas and wood burning models.
The Mosaic Masonry™ technology uniquely
combines that quality appearance of a masonry
fireplace with the installation convenience and
more reasonable cost of a factory-built fireplace.
