What is the difference between fireplaces made from cultured and solid marble?

Fireplaces are not only made from solid marble or travertine. There are also mantelpieces available on the market that are made from cast stone, also known as artificial stone. Cultured marble is one such artificial stone. It is made from a mix of cement, fluidifiers, pigments and marble dust or fine sand, and it’s used to mass produce decorative yet affordable pieces, including fireplaces.
 
The TRE-DEE mantelpiece, by contrast, is made from a solid block of marble or travertine and is carved according to your desired measurements. The entire design, right down to the tiniest of details, is carefully and precisely crafted by hand. Irregularities, markings and patterns in the stone and variations in the colour of the marble or travertine are what make our marble fireplace surrounds truly bespoke pieces. Just like the marks of the stonemason’s craftsmanship, these details are what gives your new mantelpiece its character and soul.
 
In choosing the TRE-DEE mantel, you will be bringing into your home, hotel or restaurant a decorative element that is also a stylish, timeless piece of art. Marble fireplace mantels like these have been enjoyed in places such as Buckingham Palace and the White House for generations. But even if your space is more modern than traditional or historic, the TRE-DEE fireplace is still a great choice, as the contrast between the modern interior design and the antique-style mantel creates an impressively striking effect, no matter the size of the room.
