Colonial Fireplace Mantel - Custom

The custom Colonial Fireplace Mantel Surround is an excellent example of formal Traditional Colonial design with paired reeded columns, each with doric capitals topped with recessed and framed sunburst appliques. (Tell us if you would rather not have the appliques, for a more contemporary look! View without sunburst appliques in alternate images above.) Each paired column features its own relief crown molding and there is a larger framed sunburst in the center of the header. The entire top shelf is skirted with intricately cut Colonial patterned dentil molding. All stain grade mantels are made from a combination of hardwoods and veneers. Paint grade product is made from solid poplar moldings and MDF which can be primed and painted.

All of our Premium Mantel Collections feature:

• Fine furniture (hidden) Joinery utilizing pocket screws
  
• No visible nail holes

*If you have limited space, we can build a narrow, single column version. Call for details.

Calculate the dimensions for a custom mantel yourself by following steps 1, 2 & 3 or,
click here to complete our Fireplace Dimension Worksheet and we will do the calculations for you!

Step 1. Gather Your Fireplace and Facing Measurements.
Choose either the Standard or Full Wall illustration that best resembles your existing fireplace and facing, then note measurements 1-14. (Some answers might be 0.")

Step 2. Determine Mantel Size.
Wood mantels are sized using just 3 dimensions: the mantel opening width, opening height, and mantel return. To determine what dimensions you need, follow these basic guidelines:

 
Precise Mantel Opening Width
Equals Facing Width "2" less (minimum) 1"

Precise Mantel Opening Height
Equals Facing Height "6" less (minimum) 1/2"

Precise Mantel Return
Equals Facing Thickness "9" plus (minim.) 1/2"

(Note: The mantel overlaps the outside edges of the facing. Make alterations to your facing prior to measuring.)Your mantel size may need to be altered due to the fireplace, wall, or hearth configuration. We will address this in the line drawing we send to you.

Step 3. Enter Measurements, Comments, Wood, Finish & Sizing Options.
Simply enter the 1-14 measurements you gathered in Step 1 in the fields below. If desired, enter a desired shelf height and desired inches of facing showing above and beside the firebox opening. Write a short note, if desired, choose a wood type and finish and the appropriate mantel opening width range, opening height range and return depth range. Enter the precise measurements for each, if you've calculated them. The price in the box at the bottom of the page changes as you make wood, finish and sizing selections.

 Once you complete the checkout process, we will review your measurements and selections, and to insure a proper fit and customer satisfaction, you will receive a dimensioned line drawing of your custom mantel via email for your approval BEFORE your mantle is built and BEFORE your credit card is charged.
