Nordpei's element fireplaces that are delivered in untreated concrete* may have different finishes from product to product. If you want a smoother surface with Northstar, we recommend painting the fireplace with Northstar concrete paint for fireplaces.

* Applies to models other than Colorado surface, waxed concrete or other treated surface

Fireplace paint is a concrete product that is applied as paint. It mixes with water and achieves a matte, concrete-like appearance. Fireplace paint can be used on concrete/plaster, brick and plasterboard and is intended for indoor use.

2.2 kg - mixed with 1L of water. For increased structure, the amount of water can be reduced somewhat.

The surface to be painted must be free of loose particles, dust and grease. Wounds and cracks are repaired with suitable putty or acrylic. The surface must also be well watered before applying the paint. Non-absorbent materials do not require pre-watering.

Fireplace paint is mixed with water (use a drill with a paint whisk). Mix for a minimum of 2 minutes until the mixture is lump-free. Let the mixture rest for 4-5 minutes and mix again for about one minute. The water can be reduced somewhat if you want a thicker mixture before increasing the structure.

Application with a wide brush or roller. A foam roller gives the smoothest result, while a brush creates various shadow effects. The fireplace paint must be easy to apply and run must be avoided. the paint will look different depending on how it is applied. The paint is applied from corner to corner, wet-on-wet. Normally, one coat will give the desired surface. If several layers are to be applied, wait for 6-8 hours before the surface is watered again before the next layer is applied. Substrate and air temperature must not be lower than 10°C. Do not apply the fireplace paint on hot concrete or in strong sunlight. The usage time is 90-120 minutes. Tools are cleaned in water.

  • You buy the paint from your Nordpeis dealer.

The fireplace can also be painted with normal, water-based paint if you want a different colour .
