Product Information
Full details
Stonelux Fireplace Paint in Blackpearl 61 is designed for homeowners looking to achieve a realistic stone effect on their fireplace surrounds, back panels, hearths, and inglenook recesses. Its key benefit is providing the authentic look and feel of real stone at a fraction of the cost of a new stone fireplace, while offering heat resistance. A potential caveat is that the stone effect is achieved through ground stone infusion, not by being actual stone, so durability in extremely high-impact areas might vary.

FAQs
Can Stonelux Fireplace Paint be used on a wall away from the fireplace?
Yes, it can be used on walls around wood-burning stoves and in inglenook recesses that may be exposed to higher temperatures. It can also be used on other suitable surfaces for decorative purposes, provided they do not exceed the heat resistance limits.
How do I clean my Stonelux painted fireplace?
You can clean it by vacuuming dust and dirt with a brush attachment. For tougher marks, use a soft-bristled brush with soap and water, then rinse and dry.
Does this paint feel like real stone?
Yes, the paint is infused with real ground stone, giving it an authentic texture that looks and feels like natural stone.
What surfaces can I apply Stonelux Fireplace Paint to?
It is designed for fireplace surrounds, back panels, hearths, inglenook recesses, and walls around stoves. Always ensure the surface is suitable and prepared correctly.
Can I use a roller to apply the paint?
Yes, the paint can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray gun for flexible application.
Is this paint suitable for extremely high heat environments?
It is designed for areas exposed to higher temperatures around stoves but is not a fireproof material. Always follow safety guidelines for your specific heating appliance.
How many coats of paint do I need?
Application typically involves thin, even coats. The exact number of coats will depend on the surface and desired coverage, but allow for drying time between each.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and dried before application. Check for any lingering dust or contaminants.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply in thinner, even coats. Ensure the brush or roller is suitable for the paint type. Avoid overworking the paint on the surface.
Color appears different after drying
Allow the paint to dry completely, as colors can change during the drying process. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Paint flaking or blistering
This may indicate the surface is not adequately prepared or the temperature during application was too low or too high. Ensure the surface is stable and within the recommended application temperature range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material. For previously painted surfaces, light abrasion may be necessary. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray in thin, even coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per product instructions.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on fireplace surrounds, back panels, hearths, inglenook recesses, and walls around gas, electric, and wood-burning stoves. It is designed for surfaces that may experience higher temperatures but is not a substitute for fireproof materials.
Care: Regular dusting with a vacuum cleaner's brush attachment is recommended. For more stubborn dirt or marks, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
