Plinth Blocks
During times when the fireplace provided the sole source of heat for an interior space, the mantel was often ornately carved. The fireplace was the focal point of the room in which it was located and had strong decorative appeal. Today, interior heating systems have rendered the fireplace obsolete, yet it continues to maintain its appeal. In addition to our complete fireplace surrounds, we offer an excellent selection of individual fireplace mantel components that provide you with the flexibility that you seek to create the finely detailed custom fireplaces that you envision.
