GERMAIN MANTELS offers a wide variety of styles in both Poplar and Red Oak to suit your customers’ tastes and compliment the different home designs you feature. Detail options such as our Arched Headboard and Bowed Shelf provide an additional distinctive touch. Perhaps adding a mirror surround to frame a mirror or other wall hanging above the mantel is just what a particular home design needs. Many of our products are very close in price making it easy for you present several attractive choices within a price category. Use our on line catalogue to print photos and dimensioned drawings for your home buyers. Once your company has opened an account and we have worked out your standard dimension requirements, an authorized sales person can place an order on line as soon as your buyer has made a selection— one less detail for your construction supervisors to worry about. In the event of a customer requested change order, your sales or production people can check the status of the order on line to see if the change can be made without affecting costs. Communications can also be handled by phone or FAX.
CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISORS:
We have worked to give your sales people the variety of styles and options they need to attract home buyers while standardizing important dimensions such as the footprint [Z x S], the opening height and width [R & Q], and shelf height and length [W & U]. Knowing the standard minimum hearth dimensions simplifies ordering. For example, if your customer has selected a patterned or oversized tile you will know immediately if you have to special order a custom dimension mantel. If a fireplace is centered between windows limiting shelf length you can opt for an appropriate size. Standard dimensioned drawings for every product can be downloaded from our web site at anytime. If our standard dimensions don’t fit your needs, we will work with you to develop your dimension standards for repeat use. If you have projects in several markets and price ranges, establishing your own specific standard dimensions will make framing and rough in work more efficient, no matter which units you are installing. Our preassembled mantels assure more consistent,quicker and less expensive installations, freeing up your most skilled workers for other tasks. And, for that one of a kind custom home, we’ll partner with you to design and build a unique unit to fit the plan. Just contact us by phone, FAX or email and we’ll begin the process!
