FAQ
- What is a solid rustic oak fire surround? It’s a handcrafted frame or mantelpiece made from solid oak, showcasing organic knots, grain patterns, and slight imperfections that enhance its rustic charm.
- Is it suitable for different types of fireplaces? Yes—rustic oak surrounds pair beautifully with both wood-burning stoves and electric fires, adding texture and warmth to traditional or modern setups.
- How durable is it around heat sources? Oak is naturally resilient, but for real fires, it’s crucial to follow safety regulations and ensure proper clearance or heat-resistant back panels.
- Will it complement my interior style? Absolutely. Its timeless character works well with exposed brick, industrial accents, or soft country textures—especially when styled with candles or greenery.
- How do I maintain its natural finish? Simply dust regularly and use a breathable wood oil or wax occasionally to retain depth of colour and protect against drying or cracking.

- How to Measure Your Living Room for Proportional Fit
- 1. Wall Width Measure the wall where the surround will sit. Leave 7–15 cm clearance on each side of the mantel for visual breathing room.
- 2. Chimney Breast (if applicable) If installing on a chimney breast, ensure the mantel width doesn’t exceed the breast width. Some prefer it flush; others like a slight inset.
- 3. Surround Height vs Room Height The surround should sit between halfway and two-thirds the height of the wall for visual balance.
- 4. Hearth & Opening Compatibility Measure the fireplace opening and ensure the surround’s internal dimensions accommodate it. Also check hearth depth and width for alignment.
- 5. Visual Mockup Use masking tape or cardboard to outline the surround on your wall and floor. This gives a real-world sense of scale and helps avoid surprises.
