Make a Statement with Custom Stone Feature Walls
Breathtaking Fireplace Surrounds and Accent Walls Crafted from Natural Stone.
Why limit luxury stone to just countertops? At Galaxy Granite, we specialize in bringing the beauty of natural stone to your walls. A custom stone feature wall creates an instant focal point, adding texture, value, and undeniable sophistication to any room in your home.
Whether you envision a floor-to-ceiling granite fireplace surround in your living room or a sleek porcelain media wall in your basement, our expert fabrication team in Calgary has the skills to safely install large-format stone on vertical surfaces.
Endless Possibilities for
Your Home
Our custom cutting facility allows us to turn heavy slabs into works of art for any room.
Fireplace Surrounds
Upgrade your builder-grade tile to a seamless slab of stone. We fabricate:
-
Floor-to-Ceiling Cladding: Dramatic, full-height stone that draws the eye upward.
-
Hearths & Mantels: Custom-cut solid stone mantels and matching hearths for wood or gas fireplaces.
-
Heat Resistant Options: We guide you to the safest stones (like Granite and Dekton) that withstand high heat output.
Media & Entertainment Walls
Create a modern backdrop for your TV and sound system. We can integrate stone with custom cabinetry to create a sleek, cinematic experience in your living room.
Backlit Stone Features
For the ultimate "wow" factor, we specialize in backlit Onyx and Quartzite. These translucent stones allow light to pass through, glowing with warm ambers and golds. Perfect for:
-
Basement Bars
-
Wine Cellar Walls

Entrance Foyers
Bookmatched Art
Using two mirror-image slabs, we create a "Rorschach" or butterfly effect where the veins match perfectly at the center seam. This is high-end artistry that turns your wall into a unique masterpiece.
The Art of Vertical Stone
Selecting the Right Stone for Vertical Application
Weight and heat are major factors when putting stone on walls. We help you choose the right material.
Quartz
Great for modern, linear electric fireplaces. It offers clean lines and solid colors but requires specific clearance from high heat sources.
granite
Excellent for wood-burning fireplaces due to its extreme heat resistance. It adds a rugged, natural texture.
Marble
The ultimate symbol of luxury. Perfect for vertical applications like fireplace surrounds where its natural softness is less of a concern than on high-traffic countertops. It offers timeless elegance with dramatic veining.
porcelain
The modern favorite for walls. It is incredibly lightweight, thin, and can be printed to look like marble, steel, or concrete. It requires less structural reinforcement than thick slab granite.
Precision from Template to Install
Installing vertical stone requires specialized skills to ensure safety and longevity.
Structural Assessment
We assess the wall to ensure it can support the weight of the stone. For heavy slabs, we may recommend reinforcing the studs or using a specific substrate.
Vein Matching
If your project uses multiple slabs, we invite you to our warehouse to approve the layout. We ensure the veins flow naturally from one piece to the next.
Precision Cutting
We cut outlet holes, TV mounts, and vent openings with millimeter precision in our shop, minimizing dust in your home.
Mechanical Anchoring
We don't just glue the stone; we use mechanical anchors and industrial-grade adhesives to ensure the stone is permanently and safely secured to the wall.
