Here are just a few examples of Marble Fireplaces available at Billericay Fireplaces.

Micro marble Firesurrounds
This material is crushed natural marble which is reformed with binders to provide a slab which is worked by masons the same as if they were working natural marble. The advantage of this material is its uniformity of colour. However you may find some areas will not polish up the same as the rest and a disadvantage is that it cannot be used for solid fuel. This is probably the most used material for firesurrounds today.

Natural Marble Firesurrounds
The very best most upmarket fire surrounds are probably made from this material, however be aware as the marble is extracted from a quarry the colour and grain may vary tremendously, it often contains vents and flaws which are filled by the masons.
