Opening widths and heights, as well as, return depths can be customized to fit almost any situation. The first step in determining your mantel size is to measure your existing fireplace area. Once you have determined the size you will need, make your style selection. Installation of a fireplace mantel kit is quick and easy and can be done without any special skills or tools.

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!
