Modernizing a Fireplace Surround with Concrete

Concrete fireplaces

For generations, the fireplace has been a gathering spot for families worldwide: joining in community around the warmth of the hearth creates memories never to be forgotten. And, as interior design trends change and grow, the fireplace still remains an important focal point in many homes.

When updating your interior home design, consider modernizing your existing fireplace to match the theme and feel of your living space. By modernizing your fireplace surround and fireplace mantel with concrete, your family can enjoy the updated look and feel of your home’s focal point and improve the overall look of your home.

When many people think of concrete, they imagine bulky walls or bridges that prioritize functionality over design. However, today’s technology allows concrete tiles to be thinner and more beautiful than ever. On average, concrete tiles are 5/8” thick and represent an elegant and contemporary addition to any fireplace in your home.

If safety is your number one priority, your family will be pleased to know that concrete provides an environmentally friendly, non-flammable and non-toxic solution to a fireplace surround.

By incorporating the modern design element of concrete to your fireplace, you can add sleek lines and modern finishing to your classic decorative piece. Additional elements such as including a mantle or raised hearth can help create a unique fireplace that reflects the look and feel of your home.

As a focal point in your home, modernizing your fireplace can improve the overall look and feel of your living space for family and guests to enjoy.
