Contemporary Fireplaces and Fire Surrounds
English Fireplaces offers a range of contemporary fireplaces and fire surrounds where the emphasis shifts from the intricate detailed carving that one expects to see with a period fire surrounds to the discipline of architectural form – in pursuit of “less is more”.
Of course a contemporary fireplace must continue to be the focal point of the room – but usually with a quieter voice. It stands less proud, less authoritative – less individual – more of a complimentary piece than a contrast.
Amongst the surrounds you’ll see in our contemporary collection it is a little ironical that our two most popular contemporary models are modern re-interpretations of enduring simpler classical designs – The Bolection and the Blenheim – The Bolection in particular looks equally at home in a Georgian rectory or a Fulham terrace.
Given that form is so important with all contemporary fireplaces and fire surrounds the choice of material is critical in maximising the character inherent in its structure. English Fireplaces will be delighted to guide you not only in a choice of fire surrounds but also the selection of materials.
Please feel free to call us regarding any aspect with your contemporary fireplaces on 01730 897 600 – we’ll be delighted to help.

Site Survey
We offer a totally free, no obligation site survey for complete peace of mind. It’s an essential part of the process that is carried out by a qualified installer who is usually based in your locality. We operate in most areas of the UK.
Your survey will ensure everything fits, meets all regulations and you’ll have a firm price for the installation. You’ll also meet the fitter who would be carrying out the work.
