Limestone Fireplaces

Limestone Fireplaces & Fireplace Surrounds

Limestone fireplaces are a popular choice for both traditional and contemporary interiors, offering a natural stone finish with subtle variations in colour, texture and fossil detail.

Bonfire supplies a wide selection of limestone fireplace surrounds in different sizes, styles and stone types, including Aegean limestone, Portuguese limestone and other natural limestone finishes.

Aegean Limestone Fireplaces

Aegean limestone is one of the most popular stones used for fireplace surrounds. It has a pale cream to off-white appearance with natural fossil markings and subtle tonal variation.

Its neutral colour works well in both period and modern interiors and pairs particularly well with slate hearths, wood burning stoves and gas or electric fires.

Portuguese Limestone Fireplaces

Portuguese limestone has a warm, refined appearance and is commonly used for classic fireplace designs such as bolections, Victorian-style surrounds and traditional mantelpieces.

The natural variation in the stone means that each fireplace has its own individual character while still maintaining a clean and consistent overall look.

Traditional & Contemporary Limestone Designs

Our limestone fireplace collection includes a range of styles, from simple contemporary surrounds to more detailed traditional designs.

Popular options include bolection surrounds, Victorian-inspired fireplaces, Tudor designs and larger statement mantelpieces suitable for substantial rooms and period properties.

Limestone Fireplaces for Wood Burning Stoves

Limestone surrounds can be used with suitable wood burning stove installations when the fireplace, hearth and appliance clearances are designed correctly.

They are commonly paired with slate hearths, brick or stone chambers and freestanding stoves to create a complete fireplace feature.

Limestone Fireplaces for Gas & Electric Fires

Limestone surrounds are also suitable for a wide range of gas and electric fires, including inset fires, built-in fires and more traditional fireplace inserts.

The surround, slips and hearth can be specified around the chosen appliance to create a coordinated finished fireplace.

Matching Hearths & Slip Sets

Bonfire can supply matching hearths and slip sets to suit many limestone fireplace installations.

Hearths can be produced in materials such as slate, limestone and granite, while slips can be used to frame the appliance or fireplace opening and create the required finished dimensions.

Bespoke Limestone Fireplaces

Where standard sizes are not suitable, bespoke limestone fireplace surrounds and stone components may be available to suit specific openings, room proportions or design requirements.

This can include custom mantel widths, altered opening sizes, hearth dimensions and matching stone slips.
