Finishes And Fabrication

Fireplaces Crafted With Purpose, Materials Chosen With Intent.

For more than 25 years, Bonfire has specialised in designing and fabricating fireplaces that anchor a room with presence, precision, and enduring character. 

Every project begins with an understanding of space, material, and proportion, and ends with a bespoke installation built to perform beautifully for decades.

We collaborate with leading material innovators, pairing advanced engineered surfaces with handcrafted detailing to create fireplaces that feel both contemporary and timeless.

A Material-Led Approach to Bespoke Fireplaces

At Bonfire, the process begins with materials. Stone, metal, engineered surfaces, and architectural finishes are selected not only for their appearance but for their heat performance, texture, and longevity.

Our fabrication studio enables complete control over every component. Whether you require sculpted stonework, ultra-matte cladding, or custom metal chambers, each piece is crafted to exact specification.

What We Create

Plinths

A bespoke stone plinth sets the visual and structural base of the fireplace. At Bonfire, each plinth is designed to balance proportion, weight, and material harmony.

Whether matched to the surround or contrasted for emphasis, every plinth is cut and finished in-house using high-performance stones and engineered surfaces.

The result is a foundation that grounds the fire with quiet strength.

Media Walls

Our media walls combine technical precision with material elegance. Each one is fully bespoke and may include:

  • Integrated fireplace and TV compositions
  • Concealed cabling and service access
  • Engineered ventilation and heat management
  • Recessed or ambient lighting
  • Seamless panelling in stone, metal, or engineered materials

Bonfire resolves every line, edge, and joint so the final installation feels intentional, cohesive, and architecturally aligned.

Cast Iron & Metal Interiors

We supply and install cast iron interiors across classical, reproduction, and modern profiles. 

Each piece is finished to order, aged, polished, patinated, or blackened, ensuring compatibility with the chosen surround and the wider design scheme.

These interiors offer not only aesthetic depth but also excellent thermal performance.

Decorative Metalwork

Our decorative metal programme includes custom trims, fire backs, panels, slips, and bespoke details fabricated in bronzed, brushed, or darkened finishes. 

Every element is crafted for accuracy, durability, and visual clarity, providing subtle highlights or bold accents depending on the project’s intent.

Chamber Interiors

A chamber interior should complement the fireplace without overpowering it. Bonfire offers:

  • Traditional ribbed and panelled chambers
  • Contemporary metal chambers
  • Engineered stone chambers
  • Fully bespoke fabrications

Each is built for high heat tolerance, structural integrity, and visual impact.

Fire Baskets & Dogs

Our curated selection features both historic reproductions and contemporary designs, fabricated in cast iron or steel. 

These elements provide weight, structure, and authenticity, adding a sculptural presence to any open fire.

Available finishes include:

  • Traditional matte black
  • Brushed or polished steel
  • Aged metallics
  • Custom patinas

Mantels

Every Bonfire mantel is made in-house by craftsmen with decades of expertise in stone shaping, metal fabrication, and engineered material finishing. 

We begin with proportion studies and material selection, then move into precision cutting, sculpting, and detailing. 

Each mantel is created to: 

  • Align with the architecture of the room
  • Maintain balance and visual rhythm
  • Deliver long-term performance under heat
  • Stand as a statement piece without excess 

The final result is a mantel that feels designed for your space, not simply placed within it.
