Fireplace Tile Installation

A Fireplace Worth Lingering Beside

A fireplace often brings the whole room together: the sofa turns toward it, a favorite chair finds a place nearby and evening plans become a little quieter. Even when the fire is not lit, its finish stays in view.

Tile and natural stone help give this space its character, from a restrained contemporary surround to an expressive textured wall. Sometimes, updating the finish is enough to make a familiar fireplace a favorite part of the room again.

What Character Will Your Fireplace Have?

You might choose quiet tile that blends with the walls or make the fireplace a noticeable accent. Large formats, the natural markings of stone, smaller geometric patterns and textured surfaces each create a different impression.

It helps to see the material alongside the floor, furniture and mantel. A fireplace can draw attention without having to argue with the rest of the room.

The Details That Bring the Design Together

Proportions and tile placement are especially noticeable around a fireplace. During planning, it is worth considering:

  • The layout around the fireplace opening.
  • How patterns and cuts come together in visible areas.
  • The treatment of outside corners and exposed edges.
  • The height and width of the tiled area in relation to the rest of the room.

A considered layout helps create a finished look. You want the fireplace itself to catch the eye, rather than an accidental little piece of tile in the most noticeable spot.

A Good Finish Starts with a Suitable Base

For a fireplace, the appearance of a material matters alongside its suitability for the particular conditions. Tile, the base and installation materials are selected with the requirements of the fireplace and the chosen material manufacturers in mind.

The work described here is the exterior tiled finish around the fireplace. Changes to the firebox, venting or structure require a separately defined scope and responsible contractors.
