Electric fireplace mantels are essentially an electric fireplace housed in a fireplace surround.

They are designed to look like a traditional open fireplace, and the great thing about electric fireplace mantels is that you can bring the open fireplace experience into any room in your home.

Electric fireplace mantels can be placed up against a wall in your home to create the look and feel of a traditional open fireplace.

The electric fireplace unit itself can’t be painted but many people remove the fireplace (or mask it) and paint the surround a different color.
