From its Cincinnati workshop, MantelCrete makes non-combustible fireplace mantels that capture the look of real timber in cast stone. Artisans cast the profiles from wood beams and moldings taken from real trees—including an antique beam salvaged from an 18th-century Southern Indiana dairy barn—and hand-apply each finish. Made and sourced in Cincinnati, the mantels are fire-rated for indoor and outdoor spaces and can be installed as close as six inches from the fireplace opening.
