IN MY OWN WORDS
"Isokern fireplace and chimney systems, although slightly more expensive than standard zero-clearance prefabricated fireplaces, are less costly than traditional masonry models. At the same time, they offer the same appearance and flexibility of size and shape as a masonry fireplace. The interiors look and feel just like a true masonry firebox, and they come in herringbone and running bond patterns."
