Finding Quality Fireplace Mantels
Fireplace mantel surrounds offer wonderful options for your interior design. There is a wide variety of choices that you can browse and there are also some choices to make in the kind of fireplace mantel surrounds you purchase. Some units are user-friendly while others require some skill.
I thought that we were going to have a really hard time finding a product to suit our needs. Our fireplace mantel surrounds need to accommodate tile settings already in the unit. I really wasn’t keen on the idea of losing the beautiful tile just because we needed a new fireplace mantel surrounds. While this did limit our options just a bit, we didn’t have any trouble finding a great product to suit our home.
The next obstacle was agreeing on whether we wanted to paint our fireplace mantel surrounds or whether we wanted hardwood. Considering that we have hard wood floors all through the house, the latter seemed like the appropriate choice. However, we found that painting our fireplace mantel surrounds would be a better option.
Even though the place we were buying from offered unfinished wood, we found that this wasn’t the best approach. Matching the hardwood flooring to the wood used for the fireplace unit would be too difficult and we really wanted to add some unusual color in the home. We already have wood beams on the ceiling and wooden baseboards. It seemed as if adding more wood in the fireplace mantle surrounds was just overkill.
The third thing we had to consider before choosing which of the many fireplace mantel surrounds would suit our space was which kit to buy. There are two basic types offered by the store we browsed: the Homeowner and the Builder. Just by the names of these kits, I had a pretty good idea that we were going to choose the Homeowner kit for our home.
The major difference between the two types of fireplace mantel surrounds kits is the skill required to put the pieces together. Considering that the Builder kit requires a miter saw, we immediately opted to buy the Homeowner’s kit. I’m glad we did.
All we had to do was put the preassembled pieces together and attach them to the wall. Everything we needed was included in the kit and we had the whole thing up and running in little time at all. The instructions were a breeze to follow and I would recommend this option for anyone who is interested in fireplace mantel surrounds.
