In homes from San Francisco to Sausalito, a fireplace is more than a heat source—it’s a centerpiece of design. The finish you choose defines its personality, whether you’re aiming for rustic warmth, sleek modernity, or a statement-making luxury look. At Blaze Fireplaces, we’ve transformed residences across the Bay Area with custom finishes in stone, metal, and porcelain slab, creating stunning focal points that blend seamlessly with each home’s architecture.
Natural stone remains a top choice for homeowners in San Mateo, Berkeley, and Napa who want a fireplace that exudes texture and character. Options like marble, limestone, and slate offer both durability and beauty, with patterns and tones unique to each slab. Stone pairs beautifully with high-end units such as ortal fireplaces, delivering a balance of contemporary styling and organic appeal.
For those designing contemporary homes in Palo Alto, Walnut Creek, or Sunnyvale, metal finishes can create a dramatic visual statement. Stainless steel, patinated copper, or blackened steel surrounds offer clean lines and a distinctly urban feel. Paired with a mendota fireplace, metal accents can frame the flame with elegance, turning your fireplace into a true design centerpiece.
Large-format porcelain slabs have surged in popularity for luxury builds in Mill Valley, Tiburon, and Los Gatos. These surfaces offer the appearance of marble or other natural stones but with enhanced durability, heat resistance, and minimal maintenance. Porcelain’s seamless look works perfectly with frameless designs like a flare fireplace, creating a sophisticated, uninterrupted aesthetic.
Every space is unique, which is why Blaze Fireplaces works closely with clients, architects, and interior designers to tailor each fireplace finish to the home’s style. From rustic stone for a Petaluma farmhouse to high-gloss metal for a Fremont loft, our goal is to deliver a finish that enhances the space and matches the homeowner’s vision.
Choosing the right finish is easier when you can see and feel the materials. Our Burlingame and San Rafael showrooms feature working displays and samples, so you can compare options and experience the craftsmanship firsthand.
