New Custom Wood Mantels Are Here!

September 24th, 2007 by admin

We have just introduced a few new Custom Wood Mantels. Like all of our Traditional Wood Mantels, these designs are available in standard as well as custom sizes. You may change the Inside Width ‘C’, Inside Height ‘B” or Return Depth ‘G’, to accomodate your firebox size, amount of fireplace facing you would like to show, or room space limitations (see diagram below).

Each design is available in several wood types and optional finishes.

New Cast Stone Mantels On The Way!

July 18th, 2007 by Rick

We are hard at work putting the finishing touches on a new series of Cast Stone Mantels. This new series features an exclusive group of “Lite” cast mantels that are lightweight, easy to install and offer tremendous value over traditional stone mantels. Each mantel is available “sized-to-fit”, based on your room and firebox dimensions. We are offering four Stone Finishes (Natural, Limestone, Buff and Taupe) as well as three Polished or Honed Finishes (Sahara, Sahara Veined and Chocolate). Overmantels are optional with several to choose from. Check out a sample of these new designs below:Margaux Lite Cast Stone MantelClaire Lite Cast Stone MantelSeville Lite Cast Stone MantelJameson Lite Cast Stone Mantel

One of the quickest and most cost effective upgrades that you can make to your home is a new fireplace facing kit combined with a wood fireplace mantel. Facing kits are precut and are made of marble, granite, travertine or slate. The kits are easily installed using construction adhesive and can be placed over existing brick, drywall or almost any substrate. Our wood fireplace mantel kits can be put together in a few minutes and slide over (and overlap) the facing kit. Once the mantel is secured to the wall, you will have completed your project!
