Sound surround
Residential Architect, April, 2004 by Nigel F. Maynard
A stone fireplace surround is tough to install and often lacks finesse. Schaumburg, Ill.-based Doverra has the solution: a lightweight fiberglass-reinforced cement system that sets up in a snap. Harder than marble, the product has a high ratio of fibers for strength and weighs just 4.4 pounds per square foot when cast at 3/8 of an inch, the company says. It attaches to the wall easily with mounting brackets and metal cleats. A bead of painter's caulk around the outer edge of the mantel finishes the installation. Doverra. 847.285.1902; www.doverra.com.
