You may apply it to floors, walls, ceilings, create a whole concrete bathroom or living room. Today we are sharing one more cool ideas to apply concrete in your home – create a fireplace surround, let’s take a closer look at it.
How Can A Concrete Fireplace Look?
A concrete fireplace can be very different: it can be large, small or take a whole wall, it can feature various colors (yes, concrete has different colors), and it can show off various designs – from very industrial to absolutely sleek and minimalist. You may go for a small built-in fireplace with a concrete surround that take a whole wall or just some space around it – it’s up to you.

Is Concrete A Safe Fireplace Surround?
Concrete is one of the best materials to use for a fireplace surround. It is very durable, attractive and nonflammable. Limiting shrinkage in concrete can be achieved by good mix design. That is, using good ingredients and proportioning them correctly. This can also help to create higher strength concrete, which also mitigates the potential for cracking.
