Rumfords in Sweets

3/10/98

The masonry industry has never taken an overall approach to a product like a fireplace. Unlike Majestic or Heatalator, companies which see a zero-clearance fireplace from inception to marketing within one corporate umbrella, a masonry fireplace involves half a dozen manufactures, a distributor or dealer and a mason contractor - all of whom are typically small family-owned businesses and none of which has the wherewithal to advertise the end product in Sweets. Well, we did it. We're still a bunch of small companies but with the common database the Internet provides and a little help from our friends, we can see the big picture. Now it will be easier for architects to specify masonry fireplaces.
