Fireplaces by Richard Ellis Design


Limestone fireplace designs of this type are typical of the 16th, 17th and 18th Centuries, but are also suitable for use in Contemporary homes. The most popular stones for fireplace construction are limestone and marble.

Fireplace hearths are normally made of slate to prevent staining caused by coals falling out of the fire. With gas fireplaces this problem does not exist and as a consequence it is possible to use light coloured stone for this purpose.

Slate hearths look best with polished timber floors.

It is often appropriate to use a fireplace style that is not of the period of the house when the house is being extended - the extension of the average Victorian house normally calls for a design of a more contemporary style.

Many Neoclassical fireplace designs sit comfortably within a more modern setting.

Limestone, marble and sandstone fireplaces are built to suit any of the following applications;

  • open fires.
  • cast-iron register grates of the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian and Federation eras.
  • modern heating units.
