The Italia Classic Stone mantel surround is created using a beautiful composite stone mantel material. Each mantel has variations in color and texture that captures the true essence of natural stone. Optional matching surround facing, hearths, and overmantels are available for this stone mantel in sized to fit your situation. Because the Classic Stone mantel is lightweight, preparation and installation are much easier and much less costly than traditional solid stone mantels. Special wall and floor reinforcement is not necessary for easy installation. Each stone mantel is fire resistant and allows for zero clearance from combustible material (no space required between firebox and this mantel material or surround facing), making it the perfect choice for gas or wood fireplaces.
