Limestone Electric Fireplaces
Electric Limestone Fire Suites
All of our electric fireplace suites are made from 100% pre-sealed natural limestone, resulting in a beautifully smooth finish. Each limestone fireplace is unique due to variations in fossil formation, veining and colour.
These stylish electric fireplaces come complete with a surround, back panel, hearth, and an integrated electric fire with a 2kW fan heater and a choice of flame settings to provide the most realistic LED flame visuals. Our electric suites are simple to install and some only require plugging in, which makes them perfect for large spaces with no flue or chimney, as well as apartments, bedrooms, and other common living areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are limestone fireplaces any good?Yes, limestone fireplaces are an excellent choice for both aesthetics and functionality. Limestone is a natural stone that offers a timeless, elegant look, making it a popular material for fireplaces. It has a smooth texture and a neutral colour palette that can complement various interior styles, from traditional to modern. Additionally, limestone is durable and can withstand the heat from an electric fireplace, making it a practical and long-lasting option for your home.
Does a limestone fireplace need to be sealed?Although our limestone fireplaces come pre-sealed we still recommend you seal a limestone fireplace to protect the stone from stains, moisture, and general wear and tear. Limestone is a porous material, meaning it can absorb liquids and oils that may lead to discoloration or damage over time. Sealing the stone creates a protective barrier that helps maintain its appearance and extends its lifespan. It’s advisable to reseal the limestone periodically, depending on the level of use and exposure to ensure it remains well-protected.
Are limestone fireplaces easy to clean?Limestone fireplaces are relatively easy to clean, but they do require some care to avoid damaging the stone. For regular cleaning, simply dust the surface with a soft cloth or use a vacuum with a brush attachment. For more thorough cleaning, use a mild, pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for natural stone. Avoid using harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive materials, as they can scratch or etch the limestone. It’s also important to clean up any spills immediately to prevent staining.
Can I use any electric fire with a limestone fireplace surround?Most electric fires are compatible with limestone fireplace surrounds, but it’s important to check the specifications of both the fire and the surround before installation. Limestone is heat-resistant, making it suitable for use with electric fires. However, ensuring that the dimensions of the electric fire match the opening of the limestone surround is crucial for a proper fit. Consulting with the manufacturer or a professional installer can help you choose the right combination for a safe and visually appealing setup.
How durable is a limestone fireplace?Limestone fireplaces are quite durable, but their longevity depends on proper care and maintenance. Limestone is a natural stone known for its strength, making it a reliable choice for a fireplace surround. However, because it is softer than materials like granite or marble, it can be more susceptible to scratches, chips, or staining if not properly cared for. Regular cleaning, sealing, and gentle handling will help ensure your limestone fireplace remains in excellent condition for many years.
