MONARCH SHELF
From Michael Richards
The Monarch style mantel shelf is another one of the corbel mantel shelves that is new for 2009. We are currently offering this shelf in paint grade and oak only. The traditional corbels are 5″ wide, 5″ deep and 10″ long. As with all of the corbel shelves, they can be used with our other style mantel shelves or you can purchase the corbels separately to be used without a wood shelf. The response to our new line of corbel shelves has been great and keep checking back on our web site to see all the product that is new for 2009.

CONTEMPORARY MANTELS
From Michael Richards
Simple clean lines define the contemporary style of decorating. Neutrals, blacks and whites are the main colors in contemporary style interiors. Contemporary mantel styles have gained popularity over the past years. Like with any style fireplace mantel, the personality of the home can be changed with a contemporary mantel or by changing new wall colors and adding granite and other wood decor pieces. This design can be achieved by a full mantel surround, such as the Contemporary mantel surround shown below, or a mantel shelf, such as the Modern shelf also shown below. Check out our web site www.mantelcraft.com to see a few examples of contemporary designs.
If you have any questions about this or other style mantels, please call customer service at 800 820 7177.

Explaining the Measuring Guide
August 13th, 2009
From Michael Richards
Many of our first time customers have asked how to interpret the Measuring Guide. Each number is critical in determining how your mantel in constructed. The most common question asked is ”could you explain the #4 and #5 dimensions.” The #4 is the opening height of the firebox and the #5 is the opening width of the firebox. From that point you have clearance issues to deal with. MantelCraft only builds mantels that are code compliant. If you have any questions about the Measuring Guide you can call customer service at 800 820 7177 or visit www.mantelcraft.com.

GRANITE SHELVES
From Michael Richards
If you are an avid viewer of home improvement shows, then you know how they teach the benefits of granite. Granite today is used on floors, counter tops, vanity tops and as a fireplace facing. One place granite has not been seen is on a fireplace mantel shelf. MantelCraft is now offering two SOLID wood shelves, the Washington and the Jefferson, with a granite top. The shelf size currently available is 6″ wide x 60″ long. The granite colors are the same colors we stock for fireplace facing kits. As always all wood species and stain finishes are available.
If you have any questions about these shelves, please call customer service at 800 820 7177.
