How can I put thin brick/veneer around my fireplace?




I am sending a photo. I wish to thin brick or veneer around my fire place. The whole coral wall. Or any ideas? Does veneer look real? Any websites I may look at? Thanks so much to this community for advice.God Bless,Sonia

You can get veneer brick. I recently saw someone use it on their kitchen backsplash and it looked beautiful.

There is a product called air stone that will be perfect for what you want. If you Google air stone, you'll probably get a link to the Hometalk project that was done recently. Looks fabulous and is fairly easy.
It should look OK using the veneer.
How far forward does the fireplace extend (the brass part)? Take that into consideration as putting veneer on the wall will not look right if it sticks out too far. I would also spray the brass black prior to beginning.
If the fire box is flush to the wall, you may want to consider a brick look textured wallpaper that you can then paint/German smear, etc. for the look you want. The cost will be far less than a veneer and installation is much easier. Another plus to doing this is that you can easily remove it if you want to change the look in the future.
