Refacing stone is a material that can be used to give fireplaces a more rustic aesthetic. The decision to reface a fireplace with stone can be to do solely with aesthetics but also as a means of replacing stone that has over time become stained with smoke.

Thin veneers and cultured stone veneers are often used because they are cost-effective and easy to install. They are also lightweight and add very little minimal thickness to the fireplace. They can either be installed over the existing facing material or used to replace it. Real or tiled stone can also be used if the thickness is not a concern, but consideration must be given regarding the strength of the fireplace.

Common types of refacing stone include:

* Marble.
* Granite.
* Slate.
* Fieldstone.
* Flagstone.
* Travertine.
* Brownstone.
* Sandstone.
