Wood Mantels FAQ
What types of custom wood mantels does Green Valley Beams & Truss offer?
Green Valley Beams & Truss builds custom wood mantels in a variety of styles, including floating mantels, wood beam mantels, wrap-around mantels, rustic fireplace mantels, and modern mantel designs. Every mantel is custom fabricated to fit the fireplace dimensions, home style, and desired finish of the project.
What is a hollow wood beam mantel?
A hollow wood beam mantel (aka, box beam mantel) is a fireplace mantel designed to resemble a solid timber beam, but is made up of 3 or 4 sides and has a hollow center. These mantels are popular in farmhouse, rustic, transitional, and modern homes because they add warmth, texture, and architectural character to the fireplace area. They are also an excellence option if you want to run electrical or other wiring through it. Box beam mantels can feature smooth finishes, rough-sawn textures, or hand-hewn detailing.
What makes our box beam mantels different?
At Green Valley Beam & Truss, we are dedicated to authentic looking products. For our custom mantels, we use an end cap made from a solid piece of timber. The end cap has real growth rings you would see on a solid timber mantel.
What are wrap-around mantels?
Wrap-around mantels extend beyond the front face of the fireplace and continue around the sides for a more substantial, built-in appearance. Custom wrap-around mantels are especially popular on large fireplace surrounds and statement walls because they create a clean, finished architectural look.
