If you love your fireplace mantel, but want to change the look of it, installing a new mantel surround from MantelCraft will create that transformation for you!

A fireplace is the focal point of every home, and we suggest you consider an upgrade from simple tiles and use our full-size stone slab fireplace surrounds in natural granite, marble or slate, recognized as a favorite designer upgrade!

Our tan brown granite is an excellent choice for any mantel color. Tan Brown has a slight dimensional look to it with multiple shades of charcoal black, multiple large reddish brown occlusions, and intermittent, less frequent white and quartz minuscule flecks.

Our golden sand cashmere granite looks beautiful paired with a white or glazed fireplace mantel. Golden sand has a slight dimensional look to it, with multiple shades of beige and taupe, an occasional black fleck, along with rust-gold flecks. There is also a frequent shimmering gold pinpoint fleck. This particular mantel surround is currently on sale for 35% off!

Our black cleft slate gives you a professional designer look for your fireplace.  It is an affordable option for your fireplace. Slate is a timeless, and in the black color, it goes with any decor theme. Typical of black slate, ours has a medium charcoal grey coloring that will darken if you seal it. Some owners rub linseed oil into it once or twice a year for a darker finish. This mantel surround will go perfectly with any fireplace mantel or mantel shelf.

MantelCraft has a mantel surround that will complement your pre-existing fireplace mantel. Our marbles and granites are 3/4" thick and the edges that show after the installation of a full fireplace mantle are factory-polished. Contact us for availability of other stones, larger sets, or extra polishing. Standard facing kits normally ship in just two or 3 days with Free Shipping!  Contact us today to get yours ordered.
