Limestone Fireplaces

Limestone fireplaces are one of our most popular ranges at Cast Fireplaces. Customers choose limestone because it is suitable for many different types of home. Our range includes complete limestone fireplace packages with a limestone surround, cast iron insert and hearth. We have matched our natural limestone mantels with suitable inserts and hearths to make choosing a complete fireplace easier, with over eighty packages available online.
Limestone has a natural appearance that works well in traditional homes, period properties and modern interiors. It is a stone that suits many different fireplace styles.

Why Choose a Limestone Fireplace Package?

Limestone works particularly well with traditional cast iron inserts, but it can also be paired with modern electric or gas fires for a cleaner contemporary look. Over the years, we’ve supplied limestone fireplaces for all types of homes, from Victorian terraces and cottages to modern extensions and new builds.
A question we are often asked is how limestone compares with marble. Both are excellent natural stones, but they have a different appearance. Limestone has a softer, more natural look, while marble usually has stronger veining and a more polished finish.

Aegean Limestone Fireplaces

Most of our limestone fireplace packages are made using Aegean limestone, which has a light colour and natural appearance. One thing we always explain to customers is that, as limestone is a natural stone, no two fireplaces will be exactly the same. Small variations in colour and markings are part of the stone’s natural character and make each fireplace unique.

Traditional Limestone Fireplaces

Limestone has been a popular choice for traditional fireplaces for many years. Limestone surrounds can add character and warmth to a room. Whether you are replacing an existing fireplace or adding one during a renovation, limestone can create a timeless focal point in the room.

Modern Limestone Fireplace Suites

Our modern Portuguese limestone fireplace suites offer a simpler, cleaner style while still using real stone. They have a slightly different appearance and work particularly well with modern gas and electric fire designs.

Honed Limestone Finish

Most limestone fireplaces have a honed finish. This gives the stone a smooth, matt appearance rather than the shine you would see with polished marble. Many customers choose limestone because they prefer this softer finish.

Our Limestone Fireplace Experience

Choosing a fireplace is a big decision, and we understand customers want to feel confident before ordering. A question we get asked regularly is which limestone fireplace package is most popular. Our Crown black insert with Brompton limestone surround is one of our most popular limestone fireplace packages. It combines a light Aegean limestone surround with the classic style of a black cast iron insert.
When customers ask us for advice, we usually start by looking at the size of the room, the available space, the style of the property and the type of fire they want to use. These details help make sure the fireplace is the right size and style for the room.
Our showroom allows customers to see different limestone designs, compare finishes and speak to our team. However, many customers order online from across the UK, so visiting our showroom is not essential. We regularly help customers by phone, email and online with questions about styles, sizes, fires and installation. We have many years of experience delivering our products safely across the UK. Limestone fireplace packages are heavy products, which is why we operate our own delivery service across many areas of the UK and take extra care when transporting them.
