When using one of our materials for your fireplace its important to consider the different factors and characteristics of the stones. In this blog we will review which materials are most suitable for which fire types and differences between using stone veneer and split face cladding.
All of our split face cladding stone tiles can be used for fireplace feature walls with fires of all types.
It may be necessary to source a tile adhesive to use with the stone that has a high heat resistance. We do not sell the tile adhesives for this range, they can easily sourced from your local builders merchant.
If there is a chance any liquids could be accidentally spilled onto the stone don’t forget to order and sue one of stone sealers to protect the stone from staining.

When considering the look of your stone fireplace finish you should consider the style of the design and the colours and textures of the other finishes in the room. We offer materials that suit both cotemporary and traditional designs and also have materials with subtle matt finishes and some with a shimmer along with varying degrees of texture.
If you are working with a log burning fire you may wish to avoid light and or white colours as they will be a lot more work to maintain where as with a gas or electric fire any colour finish will be suitable.
You can order samples of every material we sell from our website and we recommend you do this to assist in your material selection. With our split face cladding a sample represents very well the look of the material you will receive, however we can send you images of our current available stock if you require. With our slate and stone veneers some of the materials vary a lot from batch to batch which is why we always send sheet images of current batches for approval before shipping orders wherever this is the case.
