Mantel or no mantel for resurfaced fireplace
We are resurfacing our gas fireplace with ledger stone, Emser sand/quartzite, and topping the hearth with a brushed taj mahal quartzite. Old mantel was scalloped wood that matched paneling which is being replaced with vertical grain fir boards in natural finish. Height of mantel is set by existing holes. Do we just Skip it? Or install narrow mantel to mstch the fir or the quartzite? Tv on adjacent wall to left. Bar/kitchen peninsula with Silestone Lusso to the right. Wood treatments under bar, on TV wall and opposite wall which will have full length floating shelves/cabinets. firebox to be painted black. In Houston, so fireplace not used much. more photos in comments.

hace 4 añosPardon the construction zone. Note we have 8 ft ceilings. Also floor will 3/4“ oak planks with reddish finish. That is another option for mantel.
This is unfinished wood treatment. This wall will have almost full length shelving.

hace 4 añosThis is my husband’s baby. When urged not to replace paneling in a forced remodel he searched for an up to date wood treatment. The shelves will be something like this but there will be 4 ft high shelves at top and a 16 inch gap with a 16 inch high/18 inch deep floating cabinet below. I don’t have exact dimensions in front of me. We also have a full 12 sliding long south facing sliding door similar to the inspiration photo.

hace 4 añosÚltima modificación: hace 4 añosI am with Patricia!! Ledger stone is done, and done. However, I just had a client that insisted on doing ledger stone. SO....... I had to go searching for it. Ugh!!!
Well, I was happy to find one in Floor and Decor, that was smooth and somewhat more refined, so it was a happy medium, I guess??
Anyway, If your ceiling is 8 foot tall, I do not suggest putting a mantel at all. It will look out of sorts and overtake the fireplace.
This was another client that had one in his home and it was hideous.. Ceiling heights are 8 foot here too.. GO with what Patricia is saying a clean 12 x 24 tile will look a ton better..

hace 4 añosYou have a great open space, you can change out wreaths, family portrait, mirror, mirror collage?, chiming clock, or............have a glass mantel installed? Whatever you put on it will be 'floating'.........and not hide your stone.. https://www.brookscustom.com/portfolio-view/regular-glass-countertops/attachment/3-regular-glass-mantle-shelf/ or this....it should be a thick as a line of your stone is.https://www.pinterest.com/pin/816347869935647974/ or this http://www.jungleecamp.com/installing-fireplace-mantel-shelf/new-fireplace-mantel-shelf/ and the headline does not match the picture here, but you can study the picture.. https://www.eniac-modern.org/view.html#aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudmVyYW5zdGFsdHVuZ3NlcnZpY2UuaW5mby91cGxvYWQvMjAxOS8wMy8wMy9ncmV5LXN0ZWVsLW1hbnRlbC1zaGVsZi1vbi1yb3VnaC13YWxsLWZpcmVwbGFjZS1lbGVnYW50LW1vc2FpYy1zaGVsdmVzLWZpcmVwbGFjZS1tYW50ZWwtbC01Mjg1OGFiMzk2ZDBjODgzLmpwZ3xHcmV5IFN0ZWVsIE1hbnRlbCBTaGVsZiBPbiBSb3VnaCBXYWxsIEZpcmVwbGFjZSBFbGVnYW50fG1vc2FpYyBzaGVsdmVzIGZpcmVwbGFjZSBtYW50ZWx8 >>>>>>>>>>>>> and you have to see this dramatic photo...it is on page 3 of the photos in this article.

The white glass mantel in the media room was made by glass artist Peter David to resemble a block of ice. The couple call the fireplace Fire and Ice. So you can see, mantles can be of many other materials, including stainless, glass, thick or thin, frosted or of a color you love, and they can be of copper or whatever your imagination leads you. So, think about all the possibilities and if you want to wait till everything else is done, in your home, the completed effect will lead you where you want to go most likely.

Beth H. :
hace 4 añosLucy, these aren't quartzite (or technically slate) my pics are marble. If you're going w/this golden slate, then that's what the others are saying about it being a bit dated.
is this what you're using?

Beth H. :
hace 4 añosyes they call it quartzite (and prob has deposits in there) but geologically speaking its Slate . just like what I posted above. Out here it's called California Gold.
I have it around my koi pond, but in large tiles
There's nothing else you like? Lucy R
hace 4 añosÚltima modificación: hace 4 añosIt was a late addition because we could not get the brick clean. The tile is not flat. It is split face. It Actually goes pretty well with the vertical grain fir. Designer, tile fabricator and GC all like it. This is the wood stain. 4 inch Horizontal boards on wall in this room

hace 4 añosÚltima modificación: hace 4 añosCarpentry and tile around fireplace are done. Still have an option for a mantel if we want one. Now what do you think about a mantel? To right of fireplace are 2 shelves covered up. Space for TV above them.
