Installing a Concrete Fireplace
Frequently our clients come to us seeking help in creating an amazing focal point for the home or business. We love pointing them to the timeless elegance of the fireplace – an asset many homes already boast – and working alongside them to draw attention to the hearth. One of our favourite ways to add style to homes through the fireplace is by installing a concrete fireplace surround to draw attention to one of the most unique design pieces a home can offer, the fireplace.
In the sense of design, concrete is a perfect medium for the minimalist home, but the opportunities don’t end there. Concrete can be given a warm touch with a variety of colours and finishes that you can choose from, lending itself to a variety of styles and interior designs, making the concrete fireplace surround a staple in the ever-changing design world and your ever-changing family.
In our experience, we have found that a concrete fireplace surround is a design element that is appealing to all types of clients.
Individuals and families find that concrete fireplace surrounds are a fantastic way to set the tone of the home by reflecting a family’s individuality and uniqueness by creating a piece that is specific to their needs and design. Alongside this, designers and architects find the flexibility and custom-created opportunities that fireplace surrounds offer appealing when incorporating the fireplace into the design of the home or building. And, because our poured concrete panels are only 5/8” thick, the weight of the concrete fireplace surround is significantly reduced while still maintaining the look and feel of stone – this is something all of our clients can get behind.
Most importantly, concrete is safe. In fact, concrete fireplace surrounds are the safest and most natural material way to surround your fireplace because concrete is naturally non-combustable, meaning that no chemicals or factory-made finishes are required to keep your interior design fireproof. With a natural concrete finish, you can feel good about your environment and adding to your home in a positive way.
If you’re looking to add an elegant and modern touch to your current fireplace, or are looking to incorporate the flexible opportunities concrete offers into an upcoming design project, please get in touch with us. We’d love to know how we can help.
