A Warm Welcome: New Fireplace Display

Viking is excited to highlight the newest trend in fireplace design – porcelain slabs! Our latest showroom update features a striking floor-to-ceiling fireplace wrapped in Valiant Calacatta Oro porcelain slabs with a soft satin finish.

Porcelain panels are an ideal option for both new construction and remodeling. Thanks to their slim profile and durability, these slabs can be installed over existing brick, stone or concrete surrounds to instantly transform a dated fireplace installation. Paired with a sleek electric insert from our friends at Connecticut Appliance & Fireplace Distributors (CAFD), this display updates a traditional fireplace into a modern centerpiece with minimal disruption.

To complete the look, we added CNC oak floating shelves and a raised hearth toe kick, both finished in a warm Bourbon stain. LED lighting is also tucked under the shelves and toe kick for a cozy, modern glow that elevates the entire space.

Porcelain isn’t just for flooring anymore. With the rise of jumbo slabs and large-format panels in a variety of colors, finishes and patterns, porcelain has become the go-to material for vertical installations. Whether you’re planning a fireplace surround, full-height backsplash, custom shower wall or bold accent wall, porcelain offers a sophisticated, low-maintenance solution.
