Tips for Achieving the Best Results

  • Sample Testing: Before committing to a colour, consider testing Fireplace Paint using Stonelux® Colour Sample Pots. Applying a sample on a sturdy piece of card allows you to observe the colour under different lighting conditions, ensuring it complements your room's décor. This ensures the chosen fireplace paint works perfectly with your room’s lighting and furnishings.


  • Application Methods: While natural bristled economy brushes and foam rollers are common tools, Stonelux® Fireplace Paint can also be sprayed. If you choose to spray the paint, use a minimum nozzle size of 1.8mm. The paint can be diluted with no more than 20% water for spraying applications.


  • Maintenance: After your fireplace makeover, maintain its beauty by regularly dusting the surface and cleaning with a mild detergent when necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that might damage the stone effect finish.
