Don’t know your half bullnose from a bevelled edge? Don’t worry. Check out our handy guide to stone edges below.
Edges of a slab or tile can feature diverse smoothness and finishes depending on the manner they are being cut. Edges make a significant difference to the overall appearance of structures architecture.
There is no doubt that slabs and tiles featuring fine edges can enhance the appearance of flooring, ceiling, or any other aspect of the structure’s interior and exterior look. As members of the guild of master craftsmen we take great care in all our bespoke stone projects.
J Day Stoneworks stock Di Lusso stoves, the premier brand of the UK manufacturer Hunter Stoves.
Despite their Italian sounding name they are designed and manufactured in the UK. The main reason we decided to add Di Lusso to the range of stoves we sell is the superb controllability of the fires. They burn very efficiently across the whole output range, allowing for slow but clean combustion.
Available as both freestanding and inset versions, they can be specified with a DEFRA kit allowing woodburning in smoke control areas, and all models can be used with a Direct Air kit if required.
Another unusual feature is the minimalist design, cleverly concealing the air controls behind the discreet centrally positioned door handle. There are no protruding handles or control knobs on this range of stoves, just sleek, efficient design.
The unique Di Lusso Dynamic Control technology was developed to create a range of convector fires that can burn effectively and efficiently at both low and high temperatures – something no other fire on the market can do – ensuring that whatever size your room, big or small, there is a Di Lusso stove to suit your needs.
This innovative thinking combined with the sleek, stylish look of the Di Lusso stoves range makes this one of the most sought-after fires available. Sitting flush to the wall or freestanding and offering beautifully clear viewing glass, the Di Lusso fits effortlessly into your home, bringing any room alive with the beauty of natural flame.
The Hunter Stoves Group are committed to the research and development of stove technologies that are highly efficient in order to provide ‘green’ heating for the 21st century.
The increasing depletion of fossil fuels means that advancements in this technology are becoming ever more important. The Hunter Stoves Group recognise this and their products are increasingly meeting these demands, keeping them at the forefront of the market. As a business they have also lowered carbon emissions, most notably at their Cornwall factory which is powered by solar panels.

Beams offer the benefits of a mantel in a sleek and contemporary way. J Day Stoneworks offer beams from Capital Fireplaces, Focus Fireplaces and Newman Fireplaces so there’s a huge range of colours, sizes and finishes to choose from.
Whether you’re looking for a minimalist floating beam to style a modern fireplace or a traditional barn timber full of character we can help.
Depending on your stove or fireplace layout there are a few building regulations to bear in mind when selecting your beam. It’s important to make sure that there is at least 450mm or 18 inches between the top of your stove and anything combustible if your stove projects from the front of your fireplace.
Resin based products are available if you’re looking for something non-combustible, or if your stove is tucked underneath your chimney without protruding into the room there are a wide range of solid wood options to consider*.
Capital Fireplaces, Focus Fireplaces and Newman Fireplaces have budget and mid-range beams on offer, with prices starting from £210. Focus beams are available from 917mm up to 3 metres wide so you can choose the perfect width for your room.
We have a variety of beams on display in our Colney Heath showroom, and a range of brochures for you to take away. There are also a wide range of shelves and fascia plates available in store.
Mix or match your Decor
Bright or light colours pair well with bleached wooden beams, with darker, richer shades working well with velvets or leather interiors. Sharp, clean cut beams offer a modern look with distressed oak finishes available for a more characterful interior.
*It’s always a good idea to consult your stove installer to make sure your beam adheres to building regulations for your property.
