Oak Fire Surrounds.

Changing your fireplace can drastically alter the look or your interior décor and create a popular focal point in your living room with simplicity and ease. Oak fire surrounds are a great way to implement natural beauty into your home. Designer Fireplaces are proud to produce a range of genuine solid oak fire surrounds that showcase all of the character you will come to love from a material that has been aged and crafted to a high quality standard.

The style of fireplace you are looking for is an important choice as it may need to match surrounding furniture or fit in with a particular fashion; we have designed a range of fireplaces with this in mind. The Straight oak fire surround and Box oak fire surround have a contemporary style and utilize the space given to profile all that oak has to offer, meaning that you will be able to see more of the natural grain and minimalist design of the surround. This is the preferred style for most modern houses and looks great with marble and granite sets.

The Tradition oak fireplace and Capped corbel oak fire surround are two examples of surround that utilize corbels and skirting feet to deliver a grand, traditional style, this type of fireplace is more suited to an interior that is looking to achieve an antique appearance.

As we manufacture all of our products in our own UK workshop based in Birmingham we can accommodate your specific needs by offering a made to measure service, for example if you have a particular gap between your existing skirting boards we can manufacture your surround to fit whilst maintaining ideal proportions.

As standard procedure we apply two coats of Danish Oil to finish your oak fireplace.  Danish Oil will gift your surround a tanned, matt finish, which is a great neutral colour that will compliment any other oak furniture you may own. Alternatively we can apply an antique solution to your fire surround so that it becomes a much toned version of a brown matt finish as you can see in the photo below.

Our experienced craftsmen will use their skills to create a product for you that will be full of character and natural beauty. All of the oak we use in our fire surrounds will be hand picked at the beginning of manufacture to ensure that you have a fire surround that is colour consistent and that the quality of the oak being used meets our high standards.
