Fireplace surrounds are often the focal point of a room. Those living in colder states, such as Colorado or Minnesota, know how important a fireplace can be. From a dining room to a family room, fireplace surrounds can define the design and style trend you want to achieve. From concrete to ceramic tile to mosaic creations, the options are vast for fireplace surround design. While brick and stone remain popular choices among homeowners, even more popular is using all types of tiles, including slate. Using tile as a fireplace surround material can work to increase the resale value of your home and also create a special and unique design that you can call your own. Tile is a safe, cost-effective choice. Tile is also easy to clean and maintain, and is fire-safe.
