Melrose Classic Series Stone Fireplace Mantel

The Melrose Classic Stone mantel surround is created using a beautiful composite stone mantel material. Each mantel has variations in color and texture that captures the true essence of natural stone. You may order this mantel in a standard or custom size. Optional matching surround facing, hearths, and overmantels are available for this stone mantel in sized to fit your situation. Because the Classic Stone mantel is 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 easy installation. 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), making it the perfect choice for gas or wood fireplaces.

Note: Please see the Custom Sizing Tab for complete measuring instructions. All orders are reviewed and discussed prior to production.

How To Order:

Our Classic Stone Mantels are hand crafted by using old world techniques that create natural finishes with elaborate detail. Each finish has a special character. The molding process creates a strong, but relatively lightweight mantel. Natural Stone finishes are offered at no additional charge. Honed and Polished Finishes incur a slight upcharge (calculated in your shopping cart).

Note: All cast Natural Stone, Honed and Polished products have a degree of expected variation in shade, texture and veining. These markings are all part of the stone, add to beauty of the mantel pieces, and are to be expected.
