Fireplace
mantels
Fireplace
mantels can be made from a wide
range of materials. Perhaps, the
most common of all is wood. It is
fairly easy to work with and allows
builders to create an unlimited
variety of styles and shapes. Other
materials, such as common stones
like marble, travertine or granite
are also a popular option for
fireplace mantels. A fireplace
mantel can dress up the otherwise
dull fireplace. The right fireplace
mantel can give your fireplace the
visual impact it needs. To choose
the perfect mantel for your
fireplace you need to take a few
things into consideration. Factors,
such as the height and with of the
fireplace or firebox, the material
of the fireplace surrounds and the
style of the room the fireplace is
situated.
The size
of your indoor fireplace will
determine the exact measurements of
the mantel. You have to take into
consideration of the height to width
ratio of your fireplace to choose
the right mantel for the main focal
point of the room. Don’t choose a
big overwhelming mantel for a small
half-way fireplace. So to pick the
best mantel for your fireplace, you
will need to weigh up the pros and
cons of each material and make your
decision based on the style of your
property and the size of the
fireplace itself.
Your
budget is also a determining factor
in choosing the most suitable mantel
for your fireplace. Wood fireplace
mantels can vary from $220 to $900,
making it the most affordable
mantelpieces available on the
market. As for the more particular
customers the options range from
$300 to $800 for a cast stone
mantel,
$300 to
$1800 for a travertine and
slate fireplace mantel,
but I
have seen a hand carved Italian
Renaissance style marble mantel for
$7800.00.
The
design and the material will
obviously have a determining factor
in the cost of the fireplace mantel.
The best place to start your search
for the most suitable fireplace
mantel is the internet. Online
retailers offer a wide range of easy
to install mantel surrounds in many
different size ranges, finishes and
materials at surprisingly
cost-effective prices. But if
even that much variety would not be
enough, some companies offer
customized fireplace mantelpieces.
They will listen to your needs and
allow you to create the fire mantel
of your dreams. It might worth the
extra cost for getting the
mantelpiece that will truly
compliment your fireplace.
There
are a few tips which can be followed
when it comes to picking fireplaces
which will stand you in good stead.
