Quality & Durability Of a DaVinci Mantels
Strength
We use a specially formulated compound of lightweight materials to get twice the strength of concrete without the brittleness, making our product far superior to any other architectural cast stone mantel. Easy to clean and maintain, our fireplaces and mantels are the pride of any interior settling.
Texture
A unique pigmentation process is used to bring out the natural coloration of authentic stone. Not only does it look grand, but also makes it more resistant to any surface damage.
Durability
The multi-stage production process builds in quality and durability at every level. Special treatments double seal the pores making them water repellent and able to resist staining more efficiently.
