The outdoor fireplace area is the room built around fire — the outdoor space that makes the cold evening as considered as the warm afternoon, the gathering place that extends the outdoor season beyond the summer. The copper piece that makes the outdoor fireplace area feel as considered as the fire it surrounds.
Why Copper at the Outdoor Fireplace
Copper is the metal of fire — the material that has been used in the presence of fire for thousands of years. Copper is the metal of the forge, the foundry, the kiln. Copper is fire-beautiful — the hammered surface catching and reflecting the light of the flame, the finish most alive in the firelight. And copper develops a dramatic patina beside fire — the heat and the outdoor atmosphere accelerating the natural patina, the surface transforming most dramatically in the presence of the element it has always been associated with. Fire Copper is the most outdoor-fireplace-specific finish in the catalog.
Fireplace Surround
An outdoor fireplace surround panel — the copper framing the fire, the warm metal surrounding the flame, the hammered surface alive in the firelight. A full fireplace surround panel from hearth to mantel. A fireplace cheek panel — the side wall of the fireplace opening. A fireplace lintel panel — the horizontal element above the opening, a flame composition in shallow relief.
A flame composition — the fire referenced in the copper that surrounds it. A botanical composition — the vine, the leaf. A classical composition — the mantel, the column, the architectural fragment. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish.
Feature Wall & Chimney
An outdoor fireplace feature wall panel — the full wall behind the fireplace, the surface that makes the fire feel like the architectural centerpiece of the entire outdoor space. A full outdoor fireplace feature wall. A chimney breast panel — the copper above the fireplace opening, a flame composition ascending the chimney breast. A full chimney panel from fireplace opening to chimney top.
Mantel
A mantel back panel — the copper behind the mantel, a botanical composition, a flame composition. A mantel face panel — the copper on the face of the mantel, a classical composition, the family name in copper letterforms.
Seating Area & Fire Pit
A seating wall panel — the copper behind the seating area, a botanical composition, a celestial composition — the moon and stars above the outdoor fire. A built-in seating back panel. A fire pit feature wall panel — a flame composition, a botanical composition, a celestial composition. A fire pit surround panel. A fire pit seating wall panel.
Wall Art & Sculptures
A flame panel — the most outdoor-fireplace-specific wall piece. A phoenix panel — the bird rising from the flame, the symbol of fire and renewal. A log in three-dimensional copper. A flame sculpture. An owl — the bird of the outdoor evening, the most evening-fireplace-specific animal wall piece. Made to any size, prepared for outdoor installation.
Outdoor Fireplace Signs
The gathering place name. The family name. A fire philosophy. A fire quote. The founding year. Gathering rules. A do not disturb sign. See all sign types on the Copper Signs & Plaques page.
"The Hearth" · "[Family Name] — Est. [Year]" · "Gather here. Stay warm. Stay long." · "Where there is fire, there is home." · "The fire is always on." · "The Fire is Lit — Come In" · "Good company and a good fire."
Finish Note
Fire Copper is the most outdoor-fireplace-specific finish — the finish that references the natural patina of copper in the presence of fire. Natural Copper and Brown Copper suit the warm, natural aesthetic of the gathering space. Black Copper works especially well on outdoor fireplaces with a contemporary, dramatic aesthetic.

"The flame panel on the feature wall and the fireplace surround strip changed the entire outdoor fireplace area. Every evening around the fire, the copper makes the gathering space feel as considered as the indoor rooms it mirrors — the warm metal in the firelight, the hammered surface alive with the flame. The outdoor fireplace area went from a fire with chairs around it to the room the family gathers in every evening. The copper made it a room." — Natuross customer
