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.

Highly recommended. Brian at Cozy Comfort Plus supplied and installed 6 ductless heads on two compressors. The price was very competitive. The installation crew lead by Hamid did a perfect job. They explained the best locations for the equipment and answered all my questions. The work was completed a very short time after signing the contract. The team cleaned up the job site very carefully every night and were very careful indoorA.

Jason HicksRaymond and Ali were professional, and a pleasure to meet. They arrived on time, did the work (hot water heater removal and installation) efficiently and expertly, and did a great job of cleaning up afterward. This has been my consistent experience dealing with Cozy Comfort Plus over the years. Brian, Liz, Jay... all the team members I've interfaced with are top-notch. Highly recommended!

Brian was incredible to work with, he took the time to understand what we were looking for and helped us with the designs and what the best fireplace for us might be. He is extremely easy to work with, very easy to communicate with and so fast and responsive!
Everything happened exactly on schedule and as planned. It was a well oiled machine!! The crews that were here to build everything were super friendly, kind, courteous and knowledgeable.
