Wood Fireplace Mantels and Surrounds

A fireplace is often the centerpiece of the living room, providing comfort, warmth, and light. Ensure it complements the space and makes it feel cozy by investing in a custom mantel and surround from Out of the Woods. You can choose from different wood species and styles to create the perfect fireplace to curl up next to during cold winter months. 

Difference Between Mantels and Surrounds 

A surround is the material and design element that surrounds the opening of the fireplace, while the mantel refers to the shelf that sits above the fireplace.  Both add a decorative element to the fireplace but serve different purposes. The mantel provides a place to display items, and the surround adds visual interest and helps keep ashes and sparks from flying into your home.
