Overview

What We Build

A metal fireplace surround changes the entire feel of a room. We work with you to design a surround that fits your firebox, meets heat clearance requirements, and complements the space. From floor-to-ceiling hot rolled steel panels to minimalist blackened steel mantels, every piece is fabricated in-house and built to last. We coordinate dimensions, mounting details, and finish expectations before anything goes into production. The result is a fireplace that looks intentional and built-in — not bolted on as an afterthought.

Custom Fireplace Surrounds fabrication process

Our Process

How We Build It

We start by collecting your firebox dimensions, room photos, and design preferences. Gas, wood-burning, and electric fireplaces each have different heat clearance requirements that affect material choice and design. We draft a surround design that accounts for these requirements while achieving the look you want. Fabrication includes cutting, forming, welding (or riveting, depending on style), and finishing. We apply clear coats, wax finishes, or patina treatments depending on the material. Before delivery, every surround is dry-fitted and inspected for square, flatness, and finish quality.

Materials

Material Options & Selection

Hot rolled steel is the most popular choice for fireplace surrounds — its raw, industrial texture adds warmth and character that works in both modern and rustic settings. Blackened steel provides a darker, more refined look through a chemical patina process. Copper surrounds bring richness and warmth, and develop a natural patina over time. We also fabricate in stainless steel and zinc for specific design requirements. All materials we use for fireplace surrounds are selected for heat tolerance and rated for the clearances required by your firebox type.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a metal surround go around a wood-burning fireplace?

Yes, but heat clearances are critical. We design every surround to meet or exceed the clearance requirements specified by your firebox manufacturer. Material selection and standoff distances are calculated based on your specific unit.

What's the difference between hot rolled steel and blackened steel?

Hot rolled steel has a natural blue-gray mill scale finish that's slightly rough and develops patina over time. Blackened steel is chemically treated to achieve a darker, more uniform appearance. Both work well for fireplace surrounds — the choice depends on the look you're after.

Do you build the mantel shelf too?

Yes. We can fabricate integrated mantel shelves from the same material as the surround, or use a contrasting material for visual interest. Wood-and-metal combinations are also possible if you supply the wood component.

How do you mount a metal fireplace surround?

Mounting depends on the wall material and surround weight. We provide mounting hardware and coordinate with your installer to ensure secure attachment to studs, masonry, or steel framing. Hidden fastener methods are available for a clean look.

How much does a custom fireplace surround cost?

Surrounds typically range from $2,500 to $7,000+ depending on size, material, and design complexity. Floor-to-ceiling designs with integrated shelving are at the higher end. We provide detailed quotes after reviewing your project.
