Muros Wall Panels are regularly installed around fireplaces and behind freestanding fireboxes. Advice for fireplace use can be viewed in FAQ section (see Areas of use) and in the Fireplace Use and Install Guide. For decades our decorative wall panels have been used safely near appropriate wood and gas fires. Muros Wall Panels are robust and fire resistant, however they are not designed to withstand strong, direct or constant heat. The natural texture panels perfectly compliment the heat and ambience produced by a fire.
