Types and Designs
A fireplace makes a wonderful focal point in a room at any time of the year and offers the possibility of having a welcoming real fire or stove in winter. The right choice of fire surround is vital with such an important feature, which draws the eye as soon as a person enters the room.
A fire surround can be crafted in styles to suit modern or period properties and can be as simple or ornate as a client wishes. It plays a major role in decor and will add greatly to the overall room appeal, even if added to a room retrospectively.
Stone fire surrounds make a magnificent statement and have proved their practicality and durability over decades. Whether natural or reconstituted, stone offers a multitude of design opportunities for fire surrounds.
