Fireplaces: Limestone mantels

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

These carved and finished limestone fireplace mantels are the product of contemporary artisans who use modern machinery and old-world craftsmanship. Fireplaces are available in custom shapes, profiles and designs.

Also offered are mantel kits made with a pre-engineered standardized limestone product, called ALC Solutions. The pre-engineered limestone products are about one-third the cost and one-third the weight of traditional limestone and can be combined with hand-carved limestone elements.
