Wear and Upkeep
It is about maintenance, and this is the one factor a showroom visit almost never surface. How textured a surface is is the governing variable: a split-face fireplace with stone surround reads magnificent and holds dust in all of its joint, while a polished stone or an oversized tile wipe clean with one pass. Timber mantels bring up their own consideration, because a white-painted mantel show each knock from candles and whatever put onto the shelf, and a natural timber mantel ages rather more forgivingly. Neither of that argues for avoiding any particular material, but it does argue in favor of raising one more question while in the showroom and it is one most buyers almost never ask: in what way do a homeowner look after this in February? fireplace with stone surround
