Stone Fireplace Mantels
There are many materials that can be used for fireplace mantels and create a functional space. Fireplace mantels from Out of the Woods can be made from any of the following materials. Our team is dedicated to creating high-quality and durable mantels for homes of all types.
Marble
Marble exudes elegance and sophistication, which makes it a popular choice for luxurious homes. Modern homes are using marble for countertops and mantels to have statement pieces in their common spaces. This stone can range in colors, which makes it a top choice for a range of personalities. While this is one of the most expensive options, it will be a timeless option that will be a worthwhile investment.
Stone
Natural stones like limestone, granite, and marble are also great options for fireplace mantels. Stone mantels can be a stunning focal point above your fireplace that are able to last for many years. A stone mantel can be sleek, or it can be left more raw and rugged. This is one of the lowest maintenance materials to be used for fireplace mantels, which makes it great for busy homeowners. Lower maintenance also means that it will last longer than other materials.
Metal
Metal mantels will have an industrial and modern vibe. Stainless steel, iron, and copper can be a more minimal option if you don’t want the fireplace to be the focal point of the space. Metal is durable and fairly easy to maintain which makes it popular for many homes. Including metal can also tie in other metal accents like lighting, cabinet hardware, and stair railings.
Brick
Brick is a very popular material for any exterior project, but it can also be included inside your home. Brick can be used for fireplace mantels because it is heat-resistant and offers an old charm feel. Red or whitewashed brick is most commonly used for home fireplaces. Brick can be left rustic to fit a farmhouse-style home or it can be painted for a more modern home.
Concrete
If you are going for a more industrial style, concrete is a popular material because it is a customizable material. Concrete can be cast in multiple shapes and sizes to enhance the look of your fireplace. Polished concrete is sleek and minimalist while rustic concrete is textured and provides a more industrial mantel. This material is heavy, so it may need supports to be installed in order to avoid damage to your wall.
