Fireplace Hearth Materials & Finishes

  • Italian Black Slate (Honed Finish)

    The traditional choice, this is a soft dark grey/black stone with excellent heat tolerance.

    Whilst it can mark and wear with general use, slate can be revived and restored with no expert help; just a little wire wool and slate oil.

  • Black Zimbabwe Granite (Antiqued Finish)

    A textured finish for a more rustic look, with all the benefits of hardwearing granite. Made from a denser igneous rock, it is capable of sustaining a high polish that is resistant to scratching.

  • Black Zimbabwe Granite (Honed Finish)

    A much more hardwearing alternative to slate, but with a very similar appearance.

  • Black Zimbabwe Granite (Polished Finish)

    A full gloss finish for a sleek and finished look to your fireplace.
