Carrara Marble has been used in fireplaces for over 300 years. The nature of marble is such that when it is formed in the earth, small cracks are created too. The marble that is selected for the mantels shown in the picture above has been chosen to provide affordable quality, thus some minor cracks have been permitted. To achieve a perfect piece of marble with no imperfections at all means a huge amount of wastage. This has two principle effects, the product becomes prohibitively expensive and the natural resources are depleted too quickly, a much more harmful approach to the world's environment, because of this you may find small amounts of colour-matched filler to give the impression of a continuous surface within your marble surround.

Fireplace surrounds are normally used in conjunction with a backpanel and hearth. As part of our mix and match range you can select from many different kinds to build your perfect fireplace tailored to suit your taste and décor. The backpanel and hearth are not included in the price but are available to purchase separately. 

Your fireplace surround is made up of a number of different components and it is important to ensure that your installer not only meets the required qualifications and requirements, but that they have all the necessary experience to fit ALL the components. Superior Fires recommends the fitting of all gas fireplaces to be undertaken by a competent fitter registered with Gas Safe (Bord Gais in ROI).
