About Our Product

 

Our stone fireplace mantels are cast from a special mix of white cement, sand and other additives.  Our unique casting process is intended to re-create the veining and crevices found in natural stone and the patterns are unique to each mantel.   Unlike other cast stone fireplace mantels that may have a smooth sand finish, our fireplace mantels show the voids and defects found in real stone and have a slightly un-even hand carved surface. The overall clean and modern finish has the look of white limestone.


Cast stone is a method of creating a strong man-made stone product without the expense of carving and delivering actual quarried stone. This means you get the appearance of a hand carved mantel at a fraction of the cost. Our fireplace mantels are a cement based material with steel reinforcement that does not contain gypsum.


Please note that over time, some shrinkage may occur due to normal expansion and contraction of cast stone in an air-conditioned environment. Because the mantel contains steel and fiberglass reinforcement, this shrinkage in no way affects the structural integrity of the mantel and can be easily touched up.

This is our standard finish consisting of a back-fill that is applied to smooth the natural crevices that occur in the pouring process. Each piece is further sanded and honed to give the texture and soft color variation of smooth white limestone.


This finish is smooth, but designed to have slight imperfections with  the character of real stone.
