FIREPLACE MANTEL SHELF

There is nothing quite like a wood fireplace mantel shelf. Whether it’s
a custom fireplace mantel shelf, an antique fireplace mantel shelf, or
a fireplace mantel and book shelf, it adds a touch of elegance and classic
style to a room. A wood fireplace shelf mantel can also be an attractive
way to display your most treasured keepsakes.
The Best Designs
If you’re planning to add a fireplace mantel to your living room or
family room, you obviously want the best design possible. As a result, you
might consider the dealer known as Mantels Direct. There, you’ll find
wood mantels made of poplar, cherry, maple, and oak. You can find mantels
that are of both standard sizes and custom lengths. Each mantel shelf also
comes in a variety of finishes, so it’s likely that you’ll find
one that will suit your décor.
Ease of Installation
Another attribute of wood mantels is that they are usually quite easy to
install. This is especially important if you don’t have a great deal
of time to devote to household projects. You’ll find that the shelf
designs often come with simple directions, along with a mounting board with
screws. In many cases, adjustable brackets can be used to secure the mantel.
Intangible Benefits
There are a number of intangible benefits associated with owning a fireplace
mantel. It not only serves as a classy-looking decoration—it also
adds a sense of warmth to a room. You might find that the entire atmosphere
in your house changes, once you’ve added a fireplace mantel shelf.
It has been said that there is no better way to display family photos
than with a mantel. If the mantel is well-crafted, it can look like a
work of art, enhancing the appearance of your fireplace.
Wood fireplace mantel shelf units are often kiln dried and used over gas
fireplaces, wood fireplaces, and wood stoves. Quite frequently, they are
shipped unfinished, but are already sanded and ready for finishing. Mantels
can also be custom-ordered to fit your available space. Supports tend
to be extra and are sold separately.
