Cast stone is defined by the Cast Stone Institute as “a masonry product that provides ornamental or functional features to buildings and other structures. Cast Stone is made from fine and coarse aggregates, Portland cement, mineral oxide color pigments, chemical admixtures and water”. Cast Stone products are versatile; they can resemble any color and give the appearance of a variety of natural building stones including but not limited to limestone, granite, slate, travertine or marble. Applications for Cast Stone range from the simplest windowsills to the most complicated architectural elements.

What does this mean when applied to a fireplace mantel?  It means you can have a custom stone mantel at a fraction of the cost that is easy to install and can be shipped directly to you. Cast stone fireplace mantels come in a variety of colors and finishes. Explore our cast stone website and we’ll ship you samples for free!

The Bellevue Cast Stone mantel is one of our Special Purchase Value Kits. The Bellevue is in stock (in Limestone) and ready for immediate shipment. The highly refined cast stone process simulates natural stone and is virtually indistinguishable from quarried Limestone.

Economy Cast Stone Mantels

August 9th, 2007 by Rick

We have recently introduced a great selection of affordable Cast Stone Mantels. Available in 4 Natural Stone colors, each of the twenty designs is lightweight and is easy to install. These mantels can be installed by the average homeowner using construction adhesive.

Matching adjustable facing panels are available. These three piece facing kits fit in a cavity behind the mantel legs allowing them to slide to fit most firebox sizes. Three piece hearths add a great finishing touch.

Why we like these cast stone mantels: I was first attracted to these mantels because of the great looking natural stone surface - I don’t think there is any better (at any price).

Stone Mantels Offer Exceptional Advantages

June 24th, 2007 by Rick

Thin cast stone mantels offer many exceptional advantages including unlimited design choices, many colors and finishes, simple installation and tremendous value. Each mantel has variations in color and texture that captures the true essence of natural stone. Because these thin cast stone mantels are lightweight, preparation and installation are much easier and much less costly than traditional solid stone mantels. Special wall and floor reinforcement is not necessary for the easy installation of this stone mantel. Each stone mantel is fire resistant and allows for zero clearance from combustible material (no space required between firebox and this mantel material or surround facing).
