Fireplace Mantels and Over-Mantels

 Our custom designed and hand fabricated fireplace mantels reveal a range of possibilities with respect to scale, style, application, finish and motif.  The majority of these installations were local to our location in South Florida but with planning we can build pieces to ship to your location. We have designed and produced many projects around the country and the world. Some photos are on this website. Planning and coordination is essential. Mantels are no exception. We can install and finish on site if suitable to your needs.

Over-mantels are a uniquely interesting design application. We can design, fabricate, finish and install from scratch or modify your existing fireplace condition. Many of our clients have an existing fireplace and wish it were more interesting or special. Frank Lloyd Wright said “The hearth is the psychological center of the home” and in his case designed his homes around the “hearth.” Historically and in our case, we can integrate mirror or artwork such as a painting or sculpture. We can develop a design from a reference that you may have collected in your travels. Click here to see some examples of mirrors and mantels together. Please forgive any repetition of images on this website.

We can reproduce any of these designs or use them to inspire a piece for you. We have built many large scale pieces on-site that are just too massive to produce any other way.

Our work takes us all over South Florida. At K. Salowe & Co. we find ourselves working in many of the communities in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Island and West Palm Beach. Our company has also completed projects in Weston, Parkland, Coral Springs, Davie and Southwest Ranches. K. Salowe & Co. have done numerous condominium projects at Williams’ Island, Aventura, Porto Vita, Fisher Island, Sunny Isles and the Las Olas area of Ft. Lauderdale. Highland Beach, Golden Beach and Manalapan are really beautify areas to work. Miami is getting to be so dense it can be challenging to power thorough the traffic but we have completed many beautiful interiors in Miami Beach, Star Island, Palm Island, La Gorce and South Beach.
Our crew is willing to work anywhere we are needed and loved. We are so grateful for all of the opportunities we have had over the years. Working out of town and throughout the state of Florida is an adventure for us. We have traveled for a few projects in New York, Chicago, Central America and the Middle East. Even though we do glorious work, I regard K. Salowe & Co. as a service business and making people happy is what we are all about. It is our greatest pleasure to work with other professional designers, architects and contractors to make their lives easier. Thanks for taking the time to look at our work- Ken
