Traditional materials for decorating fireplaces are various types of stone, both construction (boot) and decorative (onyx, jasper, malachite, rhodonite). Stone is used for fragmentary decoration of space around the fireplace or in the form of decorative inserts. The classical version of the fireplace's decoration with a stone is the use of marble.

Since the natural stone is heavy (additional load on the load-bearing structures of the house) and expensive, it is now successfully replaced with a different kind of artificial stone. One of the varieties of artificial stone used for decorating fireplaces is a flexible stone. To make it, small particles of sandstone are used, which are fixed on a textile basis with acrylic resins. Thus, a flexible acrylic plate with a surface that accurately conveys the texture of the stone is obtained.
