Fire Surround F.A.Q
Fire Surrounds
Water is used when cutting and crafting your surround. When limestone is fresh from the quarry there can be a slight tinge to the stone and the colour can be slightly off. This is 100% normal and once the material is fully dry the colour should match. Limestone is a natural material and a 100% match to our display model is not guaranteed.
As of now, we have 400+ fires and 60+ mediawalls on live display in our showroom. This number can change month to month as we’re continuously producing more, replacing displays with new and updating existing displays. If you need to know if we have something specific on display please give us a call.
All of our natural limestone surrounds are mined and crafted in Portugal. Many manufacturers of high-end products import their limestone from Portugal.
We do not provide or install carpets. If the carpet has to be pulled back or cut to install your fireplace or media wall, your carpet fitter will need to reinstall. You should be notified of this after your initial survey.
Your warranty period can vary depending on the brand of the product and the individual product itself. Most warranties are held with the manufacturer and not Washington Fireplaces. All items come with a standard 12-month warranty but many products offer extended 2-year warranties, or 10-year warranties with conditions such as proof of a yearly service. Some extended warranties after some time may only cover the cost of parts and not installation. We will provide you with warranty terms in our showroom for a specific product. All products that are manufactured by Washington Fireplaces come with a standard 12 months parts warranty.
Each piece/type of marble is unique and each type of marble has different characteristics. No two pieces of marble can ever be the same. Some marbles and stones may have slightly different characteristics, but these are not defects. (some natural materials even have fossils, but generally discarded during) manufacturing.
Portuguese limestone is a natural stone cut straight from the earth. The stone is a sedimentary limestone with characteristic darker veins and a lighter background, intermingled with fossils and blooms. All of our limestone surrounds are constructed from Portuguese limestone, which is a natural material so each piece is unique and will contain veining, fossils, and ‘blooms’ which are not defects.
