Stone vs Marble Fireplaces in Cheshire
Unsure of whether a stone or marble fireplace is best in Cheshire then consider the following:-
Stone typically has a matt finish and comes in many types. The most prevalent options in the industry would be limestone and sandstone. Other than their colour differences they are very similar in every other way. They are both porous and have natural fossils and veining. This means every fireplace is unique. Stone can make for truly stunning fireplaces and is both fitting in traditional and contemporary styles.
With marble there are two main types. The first is micra marble which is man made and comes in a multitude of colours. It’s made by crushing natural marble into a powder and adding a resin to reform it. The result is a marble-esque type material without any veining etc. The second type is natural marble and has character in abundance. It’s high polished finish and beautiful swirling contrasts make this material truly breathtaking. There are many colours and virtually any fireplace can be made with it. Like the man made micra, marble it is not porous, so any spills of liquids can typically be wiped away without any stains.
