Stone fireplace surrounds

Surrounds can be build from different materials. You can choose wood and build shelves for you collection of book around you fireplace, bricks to get the touch of classic era or stone and make a wonderful antique or modern look with sharp or rounded shapes.

Stone fireplace surrounds are becoming more and more popular over last few years because they are very durable and can be shaped in any style you want.
