Cast Iron has a distinctive quality and strength of character all on its own. Iron mantels were fairly common in the late 1800’s. We have faithfully reproduced one of these, which allows its unique beauty and craftsmanship of the past to live again.
Many of the mantel designs incorporate authentic details and elements that were found in original antiques. We came across our Perth mantel in a salvage yard south of London England. Cast mantels were quite common at the turn of the century, and the material itself has a quality and strength of character all its own. This mantel is the perfect accompaniment to the Windsor front.
All our mantels are designed with some depth to them, which gives any mantel more pleasing lines. However, this requires that the firebox be installed ahead of the drywall, whether they are used with a rebate or a cabinet mantel.
Similar with the hearth- the firebox must be installed at a certain height off the finished floor, in order to allow the hearth to be properly located. Please consult the installation manual for these specifics.
Rebate mantels require that a ‘chase’ be constructed of 2×4’s and drywall to accommodate the depth of the firebox. A cabinet mantel is deep enough to accommodate the firebox, eliminating the need of a chase.

Brian and his team did a great job and went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. They installed a new heat pump system, furnace and tankless water heater. They dealt with a faulty water heater tirelessly, trying diagnose an unusual code that kept coming on, eventually replacing the unit. I really appreciated their diligence in keeping me updated, and how swiftly it was switched out when necessary. I would highly recommend them for their work ethic and professionalism

veronika zyssCozy comfort installed our furnace, central air and hot water a few years ago. They service the furnace and answer any questions and concerns promptly. Their customer service is excellent. I have referred them to friends and clients in the past, and will continue to do so. They follow up after their job is complete.

I had Brian and the Cozy Comfort team look after my mother-in-law's HVAC install a few years ago as well, and we were very satisfied again.
