There is nothing quite like sitting around a roaring fire in the heart of winter. Its’ golden glow, woody smell and toasty warmth offer a magnetism that other forms of heating just can’t match. Tiles enhance all the things we love about fires and have historically been the perfect fireplace accompaniment.

The Fireplace Surround
Make your fireplace a statement; a feature that turns an ordinary space into an intimate haven. A unique fireplace surround attracts the eye and becomes an anchoring point for the room. People are drawn into its warmth and the room finds its bearings around the hearth.

This is where you can use those decorative tiles you’ve always loved or make the most of a bright bold colour. You could try a mosaic or perhaps some intricate hand-painted tiles. Tiles can highlight a wooden surround or help to balance proportions of a fireplace on a large blank wall.

When choosing a tile, make sure that you have fallen in love with your colour or design. Don’t follow fleeting trends. Your unique fireplace will endure the test of time and add character to your home.

MET’s Top Tips
Ensure your tiler uses a glue that can withstand high temperatures. No cheap and nasty glues here!

Note:
When grouting hand glazed tiles it is critical that you test your grout is compatible with the tiles before tiling the entire area. The recommended grout for Middle Earth glazed tiles is ASA Bostik.
