Fireplaces are not just for indoors anymore!

Is summer really gone already?

Autumn is here and it’s still in the triple digits here in Sunny Southern California.

We are lucky though as our evenings are starting to cool off. That doesn’t mean we have to stay indoors until the spring.

We can still barbeque and if our backyards are equipped with outdoor fireplaces we can enjoy the night time under the stars in front of a fire.

We can help you make your backyard the place to hang out when you get home.

Now is the perfect time to add an outdoor fireplace to your yard.

There are modular models that come in many different styles. They are made of a lightweight, noncombustible, fiber-reinforced concrete material and lined with refractory brick. They simply bolt together when delivered and with the addition of a gas line and gas logs they are good to go. Or, you can face them with your own material like stucco or stacked stone. There are many different possibilities and you can finish them to match the style or architecture of your home.

Wilshire Fireplace has or can recommend installers if you don’t think this is a do-it-yourself project.

You can also buy zero clearance fireplaces manufactured for the outdoors. There are several manufacturers that make these units including Lennox/Superior, Heat n Glo, FMI and Heatilator. We sell all of these fireplace manufacturers at Wilshire Fireplace Shops.

The zero clearance fireplace boxes need to be framed in and finished. Some need to be vented and now there are even some that require no venting at all. Just build around it and you’re done!

The zero-clearance fireboxes come in all shapes and sizes. There are small units for small spaces and large fireplaces for that big backyard.

You can buy B-Vent gas fireplaces with operable doors or you can buy Direct Vent Fireplaces with a sealed panel of glass for viewing the fire.

Now is the perfect time to remodel your backyard. The heat of the summer is almost gone and the inclement winter weather isn’t here…. Yet.

Let Wilshire Fireplace Shops show you how your backyard can be the envy of all of your neighbors.

We have shops as far south as the San Diego, Encinitas area and as far north as Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley.

There’s a Wilshire Fireplace Shop somewhere in your neighborhood!
