WELCOME TO GERMAIN MANTELS!
Germain Mantels has been manufacturing quality wood fireplace mantels for the Capital Region of New York since 1993. Our products include Fireplace Mantels, Mantel Shelves and Surrounds, crafted of fine North American hardwoods, built to our standard dimensions or customized to fit your needs. If you are looking for a style not in our regular line, we would be happy to work with you on a custom design.
OUR MANTELS ARE ALL WOOD!
We do not use any plywoods, composite materials or veneers. Only boards selected from the highest grades available of North American hardwoods are used. The natural beauty of real wood and the traditional details inherent to the craft of fine woodworking are featured.
OUR MANTELS ARE NOT PRE-FINISHED!
They are cut, built and sanded with careful attention to detail. We ship them to you ready to receive the paint or varnish finish of your choice. This allows exact color and sheen matching to coordinate with woodwork adjacent to your fireplace and mantel. For added decorating flare, select tones to compliment nearby floor, window and furniture treatments. Or, consider using one of our mirror surrounds above your fireplace to frame a wall hanging instead of a mirror. You will be able to apply just the right colors to accent your artwork.
OUR MANTELS ARE PREASSEMBLED!
These are not kits! Because we ship our mantels fully assembled the need for time consuming and costly on site labor is greatly reduced. Simply remove the packaging, install your mantel and apply the optional interior trim molding we provide for your convenience. Then proceed to your finishing steps. If you are purchasing a single unit for your own home, you will find the installation easy. If you are a building contractor, our preassembled mantels and surrounds enable you to present a consistent quality product to your customers without the problems associated with kit assembly— often done by personnel with varying levels of skill working in unpredictable construction site conditions. Our preassembled units free your most talented workers to attend to more complex tasks. If you are a dealer, our preassembled mantels mean fewer customer care issues to be addressed with your retail customers and labor savings to you if you are offering full service installations to your retail and building contractor customers.
Whether your building or remodeling plans include adding a complete zero clearance wood or gas burning fireplace, modernizing an existing fireplace with a new high efficiency fireplace insert, cleaning up the old stone or brick face, or adding ceramic or marble tile facing, a new mantel can complete the project by adding beauty and value.
