We have plastered countless fireplaces and mantels over the years, using a wide variety of plasters to fit our costumers different styles and tastes. Lime plaster, clay plaster, Tadelakt and polished venetian plaster all have their own place in the realm of the hearth, and with the many different textural possibilities for each of these architectural finishes, we can create your fireplace exactly how you want it.

Fireplaces of various types has been the most important element, and the main focal point of houses and dwellings for thousands of years, the place around which we have gathered, slept, read, told stories, warmed ourselves on the outside and on the inside, the place where we have let ourselves drift away all absorbed by the magic of the flames.

Fire continues to this day to mesmerize us, whether the flame comes from wood, gas, denatured alcohol or other fuels. Hansen Handcrafted Finishes have years of experience with various types and shapes of fireplaces, from building them from the ground and up, to plastering framed units, in styles from modern to traditional. Your fireplace can be plastered in finishes pitted, distressed, polished, sponged, dragged, striped, stone patterned, or made to look like it was made from old brick, or wrapped in suede, or something completely different from your vision.

We also arrange workshops on high efficiency mass stoves, taught by European stove masons.
