The woodwork around your fireplace is the primary focal point in fine homes, setting the decorative tone for furnishings around it. Therefore, it deserves some special attention. A richly adorned hearth will not only increase the value of you home, but, perhaps more importantly, create a lasting charm admired today and for generations to come. Remember that in most homes, the fire is burning only a small part of the time, and when it is not, the mantel takes center stage! A fireplace mantel can be installed in either new or existing homes to lend your fireplace greater character and charm. Whether it’s a simple “shelf mantel” mounted above the firebox, or a full “surround mantel” which encloses the firebox on three sides, a quality mantel will complete your fireplace setting. A mantel is a major architectural part of you home. Consider it a long term investment that should last a lifetime if constructed with tasteful enduring design, fine materials, and discerning eye of the skilled craftsman.
