Fireplace tiles can cover the surround, hearth, and mantel, creating a cohesive, stylish look that is both practical and visually appealing.

The hearth is the part of your fireplace that sits on the floor, and projects from the wall. Often, the hearth will be tiled in a dull polished stone that simply looks old-fashioned. If you wanted to inject a trendy vintage period look into your hearth – something from the Victorian era, for example – then why not have a look at our victorian tiles for fireplace. They come in elaborate geometric patterned designs which are great for creating a room-stealing centrepiece.

Textured Fireplace Tiles

If you’ve fitted a burner in your fireplace and it’s surrounded by dull and unsightly bare brick or concrete, why not try cladding the inside of your fireplace with split face tiles instead? This will help to add a contemporary, textured look, which will be magnified at night by the burner’s amber glow.
