Marble floor

A  marble floor is a marble slab sealed to the ground which is placed in the front of the fireplace. This marble floor also serves to protect your parquet floor from falling embers and thus to protect you against any incident.

The marble workmen of the 19th century established some rules for when creating marble floors :

1. The width of the marble paving stone is identical to the width of the fireplace.
2. The depth is generally between 30 and 45 cms.
3. The used marble is the same colour as the fireplace for a simple marble floor or the same colour as the marble used for the frame and another colour for a two or three squared marble floor.

Some of our antique fireplaces come with their original marble floor. We do everything we can to keep the original marble floors.  However sometimes the marble floors are broken or stained. As soon as it is possible, we restore the marble floors ourselves.

Additionally, sometimes fireplaces are not provided with their original marble floor. In this case, we can make marble floors. We try to find the best suited marbles for the fireplaces.
