A mantel transforms an outdoor fireplace from a functional heating element into a true architectural focal point — a place to display seasonal items, lanterns, or simply a beautiful shelf that frames the fireplace opening. VistaScapes Design & Build builds outdoor fireplaces with both wood and stone mantels in Broken Arrow, creating outdoor fireplaces that look as impressive as any interior hearth.
Mantel Options We Install
- Wood mantels: Cedar, rough-sawn oak, or reclaimed timber; warm, rustic character; excellent for craftsman and farmhouse-style homes; requires weather sealing and periodic maintenance outdoors
- Stone mantel shelves: Limestone, granite, or quartzite slabs; extremely durable outdoors; minimal maintenance; clean profile that works in both traditional and contemporary designs
- Concrete mantels: Cast concrete in custom shapes; can be stained or pigmented; very durable; good for industrial or modern design aesthetics
- Brick mantel details: Corbeled brick courses that create a traditional stepped mantel shelf without separate material; integral to the fireplace structure
Mantel Proportions Matter
The mantel width and height relative to the fireplace opening and overall chimney stack determine whether the fireplace looks balanced or awkward. We design the mantel dimensions as part of the overall fireplace elevation drawing — not as an add-on decided in the field. The result is a fireplace that looks intentionally designed rather than assembled from parts.
