Here is a step-by-step view of a mantel installation:
| Here is the mantel in our paint booth shortly after the finish has been applied. |  |
| Once the mantel is transported to the client's home, the mantel is centered around the fireplace opening. Measurements are taken of the studs behind the fireplace to locate support points for mounting the mantle. Here André is drilling holes in the mantle that correspond to the studs. Then fasteners will be drilled through the mantle to the studs behind the wall, providing stability for the mantle. |
|
| Here André is actually fastening the mantle to the wall through the holes he previously drilled. |
|
| Here is a view of the finished installation. Note that
"buttons" are inserted in the drilled holes to cover the 6
fasteners, 3 on each side on the inside of the fluted columns.
(Unfortunately the flash wasn't on when this picture was taken so the
color isn't true to life. The mantel is white.

Below: Profile view which shows the varying layers on the
front and the crown molding under the mantel shelf. |
 |
| Here are before and after shots of the fireplace. What a
difference!!!
