Looking for a New Fireplace Mantel? Hansen & Sons Has Got You Covered

Fireplace mantels offer endless benefits, often helping to bring the final look of your fireplace together. What are some of the biggest reasons our customers invest in a new mantel?

Aesthetic Improvement: Like we said, one of the biggest roles of a mantel is enhancing the visual appeal of the fireplace – and, by association, the entire room. It’s a simple piece that can transform the fireplace into a more personalized focal point, complementing the overall design and style of the space.

Place for Displays: Need more shelving? Knock out two birds with one stone by using your mantel as a spot for displaying decorative items – think family photos, artwork, candles, vases, and even seasonal decor. (Just make sure anything up there isn’t flammable or able to melt – like candles.)

Architectural Detail: Worried your fireplace is just too…plain? A mantel adds architectural interest and detail, giving your entire system a more finished and polished look. It can also help to complement the architectural style of the home, whether it’s traditional, modern, rustic, or something else.

Concealing Imperfections: A mantel can help conceal imperfections or gaps where the fireplace meets the wall, creating a seamless and tidy appearance.

Can my fireplace mantel be customized?

Yes! Your fireplace mantel can easily be customized to match your specific style and preferences.

Custom mantels offer a wide range of design options, including different materials, finishes, and sizes. So, what’s your taste? Traditional? Rustic? Something more modern and eclectic? We’re certain we have options for you, no matter which way you’re leaning.

Has Your Hearthstone Seen Better Days? Breathe New Life Into Your Space With an Upgrade

Hearthstones are the flat, durable, and non-flammable stones or slabs that sit in front of a fireplace, essentially serving as a new floor that better protects the current one from heat, sparks, and embers.

Hearthstones can be made from various materials, including granite, marble, slate, or concrete, and they come in different styles and finishes, so complementing the current design of the fireplace and room won’t be a problem.

How do you choose the right hearthstone for your fireplace?

Set a budget. Not the most exciting step, but it’s an important one! Set a budget for your hearthstone ahead of time, as prices can vary based on material type, size, and any customization you may require.

Pick the best material for you. From granite to marble to slate to limestone (and more), there are lots of material options to choose from, depending on the aesthetic you’re trying to achieve.

Figure out the style, size, and shape you’d like. Again, material choice will play into this significantly, but you can also have some flexibility with the size and shape of the hearthstone (as long as it meets proper clearances, of course). Rectangular hearthstones are typical, but custom shapes can be made to fit specific designs or spaces.

Ensure proper functionality and safety. Make sure the hearthstone material is non-combustible and has good heat resistance. You may also want to check local building codes for any specific requirements regarding hearth size and materials.

Look into maintenance requirements. Different material types may require different maintenance routines. Some stones, like marble and limestone, need regular sealing and careful cleaning to prevent damage, while materials like granite and slate are generally more resistant to stains and easier to maintain.

Find some inspiration. Visit home improvement stores, stone yards, and online galleries for inspiration, or consider obtaining samples to see how different materials look in your space. And remember…we’re always here to help!

Tired of Runaway Sparks? Check Out Our Glass Fireplace Doors

Looking to add a functional yet cosmetic feature to your fireplace? We can help you find the perfect glass fireplace doors to complement your hearth and living space. Fireplace doors serve several crucial functions, enhancing both the safety and efficiency of a fireplace:

First off, they act as a barrier that prevents sparks and embers from escaping into the room, reducing the risk of accidental fires.
Secondly, fireplace doors improve energy efficiency by minimizing heat loss when the fireplace is not in use. They help to prevent warm air from escaping up the chimney and cold air from coming in, thereby maintaining a more stable indoor temperature and reducing heating costs.

Additionally, they can enhance the aesthetic appeal of the fireplace, adding a touch of style and personal taste to the room.

Overall, fireplace doors are a practical and attractive addition that promote safety, energy conservation, and design appeal – can’t beat that.

Can I add glass doors to an existing fireplace?

Yes, you can add glass doors to an existing fireplace! That said, the process involves measuring the fireplace opening, choosing suitable doors for your specific setup and needs, and purchasing them from a reputable supplier.

You’ll also want to clean the fireplace ahead of time, then make sure you’re following the manufacturer’s installation instructions exactly to ensure a good fit. Not comfortable with a DIY project? Ensure the job is done right the first time by hiring our professionals for the job. We’d be happy to help from start to finish – from picking the best doors for your needs to correctly installing them.
