Another busy day for the Everwarm Fires team! Today, we had the pleasure of completing a fantastic fireplace transformation for a customer in Ditton, Maidstone.

With the weather still feeling chilly, there is nothing quite like the promise of a roaring fire to make a house feel like a home. This project was all about taking a tired, empty builder’s opening and turning it into a stunning, modern focal point for the living room.

The Before and After Transformation

As you can see from the image below, the original space required significant preparation. It was a standard brick opening that needed careful clearing and structural work to ensure it was ready to house a high-efficiency wood burning stove safely.

The result, however, speaks for itself.

Quality Materials for a Premium Finish

For this installation, the details were everything. We wanted to create a contrast between rustic textures and sleek finishes.

• The Chamber: We lined the interior of the fireplace chamber with beautiful slate split face tiles. These tiles offer wonderful depth and a natural, rugged texture that catches the light from the fire perfectly. They provide a contemporary backdrop that really makes the black stove pop.

• The Hearth: To ground the installation, we fitted a substantial 30mm honed granite hearth. Honed granite has a matte finish rather than a high shine, giving it a sophisticated, contemporary look that is incredibly durable and practical for a working fireplace.

We are thrilled with the final outcome, and more importantly, the homeowners are delighted to have their new stove up and running on the same day.
