Fireplace – the centerpiece of our home
A fireplace can light up any room, and we are not talking about just the fire itself.
The surface surrounding the fireplace functions as a design element even when there is nothing burning inside of it.
However, it is not always easy to find the perfect color and material for a fireplace surrounding, as there are countless options to consider.
Every home is unique, but we can help you find the most suitable fireplace material that fits both your taste and the atmosphere of your house.
Choose carefully, and let your fireplace become the centerpiece of the room!
Natural fireplace materials
We offer a wide selection of natural stones and man-made materials that are popular choices for fireplace surrounds – and for good reason.
Natural stones are an excellent option for those who wish to create a luxurious and elegant atmosphere with a design that cannot be found anywhere else.
- Marble is particularly popular in fireplaces across the country. It is a quite durable and heat-resistant material that is available in several beautiful hues and patterns. Keep in mind, however, that it does need regular maintenance.
- Granite is also a strong choice with its extreme durability and heat-resistance. It is also a porous material, so it does need sealing and a careful approach when cleaning.
- Quartzite is also a stone that many people love, perhaps because it combines the beauty of marble with the strength of granite. Doesn’t that sound like perfection?
Man-made fireplace materials
While many prefer natural stones for the sake of authenticity, you shouldn’t dismiss the idea of choosing an artificial material as your fireplace surround.
Let us show you some great examples!
- Dekton by Cosentino is a versatile material which is excellent in every aspect. It is extremely heat- and scratch resistant, durable, and offers endless design possibilities for any home style.
- Porcelain is awesome: we can hardly find any weak points, as it is perfect for surrounding fireplaces. It is hygienic, very easy to maintain, and can fit the style of any home with the myriad of designs available.
- Quartz fireplace surrounds look very similar to marble or granite; however, they are much easier to maintain and keep clean than their natural counterparts.
What color and pattern are you going for?
When considering the design of your fireplace, there is an endless variety to choose from: the colors range from different hues of white to pitch-black, neutrals being the most popular option.
Depending on the style of your home, you can achieve an elegant and luxurious look with the unique veining of natural (and natural-looking) stones, or a refined, modern space with the help of a simpler design.
What is more, the beautiful material you end up choosing doesn’t have to be confined to the space around the fireplace – you can cover an even larger surface with it, providing a space to mount your TV to, or simply to evoke admiration.
