FAQ – How to design a mantel around a raised insert?

One of the most commonly asked questions we answer for our customers is how to approach the raised firebox insert. Some things are best left to professionals. Stop worrying and start reading about how we can help you to create the marble fireplace mantel of your dreams, with ease…

A very common challenge homeowners are pondering is how to simplify the process of designing a mantel around a raised firebox insert. Fine’s Gallery has simplified this process for homeowners, for decades. Purchase from one of 100’s of in stock carved marble fireplaces or if you prefer, we will have one custom made specifically for you!

Option 1 – Raised Hearth ( Ideal for fireboxes raised 8″-12″ )

This marble mantel is installed on a wooden or concrete substructure. We supply matching marble slabs to be clad around the front and sides of the raised substructure.

Option 2 – Raised Opening Faced with Matching Filler Slabs ( The slabs are cut-on-site by the installing contractor )

This option is more common with firebox inserts that are raised up 3″ – 6″, in most situations. The slabs can be ‘matching’ or you can elect to go with a contrasting stone if you prefer.

If you are interested in getting started, just pick from one of our natural stone mantels. View our options online here – https://www.finesgallery.com/index.php?category=marble&sub1=fireplace&page=1 Be sure to select ‘ show only in stock’ if you prefer FAST AND FREE SHIPPING.
