• When you are looking to set up a fireplace in
  your home, one of the major things that you need
  to take care of is the mantel of the fireplace.
  Also known as the mantelpiece or chimneypiece, it
  is a component that helps to contain the smoke
  and is usually placed over the fire grate. While
  the original usage of the fireplace mantel was
  mostly to contain the smoke emitted from the
  fireplace, nowadays they are also used purely for
  decorative purposes. Over the last few decades,
  the demand for decorative fireplace mantels has
  increased steadily, and there are now many
  companies that exclusively design and create such
  products for the buyers. The decorative mantel
  frameworks can also be characterized by elaborate
  designs that often extend to the ceiling.

• The term mantelpiece is used often for various
  external accessories used in a fireplace, such as
  a mantel shelf and the jambs. For hundreds of
  years, the fireplace mantel has served as the
  most important artistic and ornamental element in
  any given room. Numerous old houses still have
  elaborately constructed fireplace mantels that
  cover a major part of the building. However, most
  of the houses that are built these days are
  smaller in size and so it is not possible to
  incorporate such large and elaborate fireplace
  mantels.

• Since the bulk of the fireplaces are smaller in
  size these days, the mantels have become more
  stylistically oriented than the functional pieces
  they once were. This has also been facilitated by
  the introduction of modern heating methods.
  Gradually as the practical importance of mantels
  have reduced, more people these days prefer to
  use them purely for their aesthetic brilliance.
