ARTISAN CONCRETE CONCEPTS / VOLGA, SOUTH DAKOTA
Planning a concrete fireplace surround
Start with a room photo, a few rough measurements, and a design you like. We can help you work out whether your fireplace needs a mantel, a full surround, or a hearth.
Mantel, surround, or hearth?
- Mantel
- The shelf above the opening. A mantel alone may suit a wall with finished tile, stone, or built-ins you plan to keep.
- Surround
- The frame around the firebox. A full surround can bring the sides and top together in one design.
- Hearth
- The surface below or in front of the opening. Tell us if you want a new hearth, plan to keep the existing one, or are still deciding.
What to send for an estimate
- Photos. Take one straight-on photo showing the whole wall and an angled view showing the fireplace and what surrounds it.
- Rough dimensions. Share the opening width and height, available wall width, and any existing hearth depth. Include the units and say which points you measured.
- Fireplace details. Include the manufacturer and model if you know them. Final fit, clearances, and mounting need project-specific review.
- Design direction. Tell us which pieces you want and share an ACC gallery example or a reference image you like.
- Location and timing. Include the project city and any date your builder is working toward.
For builders and designers
Send any drawings or elevations you already have, the current fireplace specification, and the name of the person coordinating site access and final dimensions. Tell us which pieces ACC should make and whether you need help measuring, delivering, or installing.
