Limestone Fireplaces

Browse complete limestone fireplace packages including a natural limestone surround, cast iron insert and hearth options.
Limestone is a popular choice if you want a natural stone surround with a soft, classic finish. As the fireplace is often the main feature in a room, it needs to feel right with the rest of your interior.
Aegean limestone works well in a wide range of homes. It can look clean and simple in a modern room, but it’s also suitable in more traditional, Victorian and period-style interiors.
At Castfireplaces, we offer a carefully selected range of solid natural limestone fireplace surrounds and cast iron insets, chosen for their quality and value for money.

Complete Limestone Fireplace Packages

Our limestone packages can be customised to suit your home, your style and the type of fire you would like.

Depending on the design you choose, options may include different cast iron inserts, finishes, fireplace sizes, fuel types, hearth materials and tile choices. Some packages offer more choice than others. For example, our tiled fireplaces have a wide selection of tiles, while all packages include a choice of hearth options to help you create the right fireplace design for your room.

Whether you prefer a traditional fireplace or something with a slightly more modern feel, our limestone collection offers plenty of choice. We have carefully matched limestone fire surrounds with a range of cast iron inserts to make choosing your fireplace package easier.

Fuel options include solid fuel, inset gas fires, electric and bioethanol options, depending on the fireplace style and your home. You can also choose from a selection of granite, slate or tiled hearths to complete the look.

A limestone package is often the main feature of a room, so we have put together over eighty complete packages that can be bought online. These give you a simple way to choose a surround, insert, hearth and fire option that work well together.

For a more modern look, we also offer Portuguese limestone. These are supplied complete with matching panels and hearths, creating a contemporary focal point.

Benefits of Natural Aegean Limestone

Our limestone surrounds are made from natural Aegean limestone, a slightly off-white stone with a soft, elegant appearance. It works beautifully with simple, straight-lined designs such as the Brompton mantel, but also suits surrounds with more traditional detailing.

Because limestone is a natural solid stone, every surround is slightly different. Small changes in colour, texture and markings are part of its character and help give each fireplace a more authentic feel than a man-made material.

Limestone is a popular choice because it feels timeless without being too plain. It can suit both modern interiors and more traditional homes, making it a versatile option for many room styles.

Fuel Options for Limestone Fireplaces

The best fuel option for your limestone package will depend on your home, your chimney and how you would like to use the fire.

For a traditional real fire, solid fuel is the classic choice, offering a higher heat output. This usually means burning wood or coal and will require a suitable chimney. Many people still prefer the atmosphere, sound and warmth of an open fire. Some fireplace styles can also be supplied with a deeper back, giving you more space for larger logs.

We also offer easier-to-use options, including the Nuflame Gas Fire 1, bioethanol fires and the SLE 35i electric fire. These are ideal if you want the look and warmth of a fireplace without the same level of maintenance as solid fuel.

Gas and electric fires are quick and convenient to use, while bioethanol offers a flueless option for homes where a chimney is not available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, limestone does hold heat. Limestone not only stores heat, but it absorbs and radiates it too. This means your fireplace will act like an ornate storage heater after the fire has died down.

You should give it a quick clean-up every time that you use it, removing any dust, dirt and debris. You can dust with a dry cloth before sweeping with a soft brush and then hoovering using a brush adaptor.

However, it doesn’t hurt to be more thorough on occasion to remove any stains or marks. We have found the best way is to use a knibbing pad and give the limestone a light sand to remove any marks.

Before sealing, clean the area of any dust and debris to avoid sealing in any dirt. Then, using our LTP Mattstone sealer apply it liberally with either a paintbrush or a rag. Make sure the sealer is totally dry before putting anything back on it and ensure your room is well ventilated.

The sealant will help to protect your fireplace from the dust and dirt and will keep it looking as good as it did the day you had it installed.
