fireplace portal
A fireplace portal is a three-sided polyurethane frame set that surrounds the fireplace opening; it joins two side columns or corbels with the band above. It is used in living and sitting rooms to define the front face of a decorative fireplace as a whole. The polyurethane material is lightweight and applied directly with mounting adhesive; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack or warp and can be painted. Because it is mould-cast, the side and top pieces join cleanly with one another and the profile details repeat identically on every piece. Being far lighter than marble or timber portals makes transport and installation easier. Polure produces the fireplace portal in a range of sizes and models.
