Mantels

A Beautiful Mantel Sets the Tone

The woodwork around a fireplace is the primary focal point in fine homes, setting the decorative tone for other furnishings. Therefore, it deserves some special attention. A richly adorned hearth will greatly enhance the charm of your home.

Remember that in most homes, the fire is burning only a small part of the time, and when there is no fire, the mantel takes center stage. A fireplace mantel can be installed in either new or existing homes to lend your fireplace greater character. Whether it’s a simple shelf mantel mounted above the firebox, or a full surround mantel, which encloses the firebox on three sides, a handsome mantel will complete your fireplace setting.

A fireplace mantel is an important architectural element in your home. Consider it a long-term investment that should last a lifetime if constructed by skilled craftsmen with tasteful enduring design and premium solid hardwoods.
