Microcement Fireplaces in Ireland
The fireplace is the focal point of the Irish living room — and microcement gives it the presence it deserves. Whether you are wrapping a simple surround, creating a full chimney breast feature wall or finishing a floating hearth, microcement delivers a seamless, sculptural finish that no other material can replicate.
Microcement is suitable for the decorative surround, chimney breast and hearth area of a fireplace. It must not be used inside the firebox or on surfaces that reach very high temperatures — for those areas, specialist refractory materials are required.

Design Ideas for Microcement Fireplaces
Full Chimney Breast
Apply microcement to the entire chimney breast from floor to ceiling for a dramatic, seamless feature wall. Works beautifully in Sandstone, Marengo Grey or Wenge.
Floating Hearth
A cantilevered hearth finished in microcement creates a contemporary, sculptural effect. The microcement wraps the top and front face for a seamless monolithic look.
Simple Surround Update
If you have an existing tiled or rendered surround, microcement can be applied directly over it for a fast, cost-effective refresh without demolition.
Floor-to-Fireplace Continuity
Match your microcement floor colour to the fireplace surround for a fully continuous aesthetic. Particularly effective in open-plan living spaces.
Heat Zone Considerations
Microcement can withstand the ambient radiated heat from a fireplace surround and hearth. The ambient temperature in these areas typically remains well within the tolerance of both the microcement and the polyurethane sealant.
