A natural stone fireplace surround is one of the most visually impactful architectural features in a home. Marble, travertine, and ledger stone in genuine natural stone create a warmth and permanence that manufactured tile or painted drywall cannot replicate.

Marble Fireplace Surrounds

Marble field tile is the most widely used material for fireplace surrounds. Calacatta Gold in large-format honed field tile creates a hotel-quality surround with bold gold veining. Bianco Carrara provides a classic, understated look. Nero Marquina in polished or honed finish creates a dramatic, contemporary surround. Marble is generally suitable for fireplace surround face applications — it is not designed for direct flame contact. Verify heat exposure requirements with your fireplace installer before specifying any product.

Mosaic Fireplace Surrounds

Herringbone, basketweave, and stanza mosaics in marble work well as surround face tile. The mosaic sheet format simplifies installation around the irregular geometry of a fireplace opening.

Ledger Stone Panels

Split-face ledger panels in travertine or marble create a dimensional, stacked stone appearance suited to fireplace surrounds and chimney breast features. Available in select travertine families — verify dimensions and installation requirements before ordering.

Hearth Tile

Honed or tumbled stone is appropriate for most hearth applications. Verify heat and impact resistance per product. Consult your installer for the correct setting material for fireplace use. Order one sample for $7.95, or choose any 5 for $25, with free standard shipping on sample-only orders.
