1: thick plate

Marble slabs, granite slabs or other artificial slabs can create a vivid and minimalist aesthetic. Be sure to personally select the sheet you like and choose the installation location. Use it to create a spatial focus.

2: stainless steel

In most areas, fire-retardant materials of a certain width are required for fireplaces and stovetops. Stainless steel finishes are definitely in line with this requirement. A bespoke finish feels rustic and modern, and the stainless steel looks great.

3: Copper

I think copper used as a fireplace finish is not only a beautiful finish choice, used in any space is highly likely to arouse topic and become a conversation starting point.

4. Stone

There are many stone options for fireplace finishes. If you like to visit the stone yard, you can see all the different varieties. Stones come in many different shapes, colors and textures. I recommend that you find a designer or installer and work with him or her to choose the best stone for your fireplace.

5: paint wall bricks

This is an option I recommend you use, and painted wall tiles work every time. If you are looking to replace your old red bricks but are on a budget, this is the way to go. Any color is fine, but white is the most versatile and you can mix it with modern, rustic and coastal. It depends on your personal needs, choices and financial ability.

6. Antique bricks

This is a fireplace finish that will not be affected by time and is relatively inexpensive compared to other hard surfaces. It presents a traditional and transitional style in the home. For a more modern look, bricks can be criss-crossed or stacked.

7. Pebbles

Pebbles come in many sizes, even up to 15 inches. Pebbles have a texture and a neutral tone. Suitable for traditional and rustic styles. Depending on the size of the fireplace and the surrounding environment, you can choose the right color and size of pebbles to make the fireplace finish.

8. finished steel

Choose the right steel according to the nature of your fireplace, the thickness of the steel, the material should be measured according to the fireplace, the welding of the steel and the size of the floor area should be considered in advance, and the high temperature resistance and spray paint should be used to spray the color you want to the finish after completion, which is a very beautiful detail for a modern or transitional space.

9. Concrete placement

The modern style is another good choice and the concrete is poured on site. It looks fantastic, but of course it takes an expert to install it. You can ask us about concrete experts who can provide samples and prices.

10. Cultural bricks

The cultural brick is the texture lover's choice, comes in a variety of colors and can be mounted horizontally or vertically for a more modern look. The high color unity of the cultural stone and the bottom SLATE will make your match more perfect.

11. Prefabricated limestone mantel

For a more traditional fireplace look, consider a prefabricated limestone mantel. This requires a professional installer to complete the installation. Because heavy parts need to be reinforced.

12. Ceramics and glass tiles

Separate ceramic and glass tiles are great for use around a fireplace. And with a variety of colors and shapes, the design options are endless.
