Signature details
Fireplace Stone Installation
A slab fireplace surround turns the fireplace into the room's centerpiece. We fabricate surrounds, hearths, mantel shelves and full-height fireplace walls from slab, with the veining laid out to frame the firebox.
Fireplace work brings different questions than a countertop: clearances from the firebox, wall structure and how heavy panels are supported. We review these at the free in-home consultation and plan the stone accordingly.

Our process
How your project works
No showroom visit needed. We come to you, you choose your slab where you like, and our own team fabricates and installs it.
Free in-home consultation
We come to you. In your kitchen, bath or backyard we look at the space, take preliminary measurements, talk through layout, edges, sinks and overhangs, and review material options with you. Your estimate follows from this visit, at no cost.
Slab selection
Pick your slab at MSI Surfaces or Natural Stone Resources, where we are an authorized dealer, or at any other slab yard you like. With natural stone, the slab you choose is the slab we fabricate, so we'll tell you what to check before you commit: size, thickness, finish and how the veining will fall across your layout.
Templating
Once cabinets or bases are set, we template the exact surfaces: walls, corners, appliance openings and fixture locations. Templating sets every cut, seam and overhang.
In-house fabrication
Your slab is cut, edged and finished in GlamourStone's own fabrication shop: sink and cooktop cutouts, edge profiles, mitered waterfall joints and the vein layout we agreed on.
Installation
Our team sets, levels, seams and finishes the stone in your home, prepares openings for your plumber, cleans up and walks you through care for your specific material.
Good to know
Things to consider
These are the details that shape an accurate estimate and a clean installation.
Clearances and heat
Fireplace manufacturers and local code set clearances around the firebox. We follow your fireplace's specifications and the material's rating, and some engineered materials are rated for walls rather than direct heat.
Wall structure
Full-height stone panels are heavy. The wall needs to carry them, and we'll check it during the consultation.
Layout
Bookmatched panels on either side of the firebox need two matching slabs or careful cutting from one. We plan it before you buy.
Gas, electric or wood
Gas, electric or wood-burning: the fireplace type affects material choices and clearances.
FAQ
Common questions
Ask us anything else during your free in-home consultation.
Can quartz be used around a fireplace?
Some quartz products list fireplace surrounds with an interior wall rating. Heat limits apply, so we check the specific product and your fireplace specifications.
Do you install fireplace inserts?
We fabricate and install the stone. Fireplace units, gas lines and venting are handled by the appropriate licensed trade.
Can you build a stone hearth?
Yes. We fabricate hearths and hearth tops as part of the fireplace stone package.
