Leaning Frame Surround

The fireplace surround is an essential design element that can change the entire room. It's not just designed to look beautiful, but also serves a practical purpose, which is to protect the wall behind the fireplace from fire damage and to reflect heat away from the room. It's available in a variety of materials and can be customized to fit any style or design.

The right material is crucial to achieving a deliberate aesthetic. Concrete is a good choice due to its durability and non-flammable. It also has lots of visual appeal due to its natural texture and color. Concrete is typically poured into a mold to allow you to choose the option of creating unique shapes.

When designing your leaning frame, be sure to add layers. This helps the piece look more planned and curated instead of being randomly placed on the wall or on the shelf. Leaning frames are dangerous, so if you're planning on displaying heavier objects like vases or lamps, place a small piece of rubber drawer liner under the base to stop them from falling or causing damage to surfaces.

Consider adding a wooden board to the bottom of a concrete or marble surround. This will help keep it in its place. It will also help to reduce the weight of the object and stop it from moving while you enjoy a good glass of wine or coffee on your mantel.

After you have chosen the material, it's time to construct the actual piece. Begin by marking your new wall with the dimensions of the surround and use a saw to cut cleats on each of these points. Make sure the top cleat is at least a foot shorter than the shelf.

Fix the brackets to the wall fires. Make sure that the bolts are inserted through the backerboard and into the stud. If necessary, pre-drill the screw holes. Then you can temporarily clamp the mantel on the backer board. Fix the mantel to studs using lag bolts (2-4 bolts per stud). Make sure that the bolts are sufficient to cover 2/3 of the mantel's depth + the thickness of the backer board.

Fireplace surrounds serve as an aesthetic and functional function. They shield walls from damage caused by heat and also help to redirect some of the heat back into the room, and can make a fireplace a focal point in a space.

Wood is another popular material used for fireplace surrounds. It comes in many colors and textures that will complement any decor. Wooden surrounds are lighter and more economical than brick surrounds and can be made to match the color of your existing hearth pad. Most wooden surrounds can be used to accommodate household decor above the mantel including lamps and vases.

Some wood surrounds include a faceplate that covers the mantel's top and houses the doors to the fireplace. This plate can be affixed with hinges that are decorative or fasteners that replicate the look of wrought iron.

It is important to consider the dimensions of your fireplace when selecting a mantel made of wood. To stop a fire from spreading to your home, building codes specify minimum clearances. The distance will differ based on the type of fireplace, and may also vary from country to country or state to state.
