The Cast Tec Bolection 50″ Arabescato Marble Fireplace Surround is an elegant natural stone mantel combining a clean architectural bolection profile with the dramatic veining of Italian Arabescato marble. Designed to create a refined focal point, it works especially well in interiors where the fireplace surround itself is intended to become a strong visual feature.
Arabescato marble is quarried in the Carrara region of Italy and is characterised by a predominantly white background with contrasting darker veining. The patterning can vary considerably from one piece of stone to another, giving every surround its own individual appearance and making natural variation an important part of the product’s character.
The simple Bolection profile provides a useful contrast to the expressive marble. Rather than competing with the natural veining, the restrained architectural form allows the stone to remain the main visual focus. This makes the surround suitable for both sophisticated contemporary interiors and more traditional fireplace settings.
The mantel has a shelf length of approximately 1275mm / 50.19″ and an overall height of 1095mm, providing compact, balanced proportions suitable for a wide range of chimney breasts.
Its internal opening measures approximately 915mm wide x 915mm high, giving a classic square format that can be coordinated with suitable inserts, chambers and fire arrangements. A 25mm internal rebate provides additional depth for integration with the wider fireplace installation.
The shelf is approximately 142mm deep, helping preserve the relatively shallow and understated character of the Bolection design.
With its clean proportions and highly individual Italian marble, the Cast Tec Bolection Arabescato Marble Fireplace Surround is particularly suited to design-led interiors where natural stone veining is intended to form part of the room’s overall aesthetic.

Expert Insight
Arabescato is particularly effective with a simple Bolection profile because the restrained shape allows the marble to do most of the visual work. The naturally contrasting veining can be considerably more pronounced than Carrara marble, making this version a strong choice where the fireplace is intended to be a statement feature.
Suitability
The Cast Tec Bolection 50″ Arabescato Marble Fireplace Surround is well suited to luxury living rooms, design-led interiors, period properties, and contemporary fireplace schemes where distinctive natural marble veining is required.

Arabescato is a highly variable natural marble, so colour, veining, pattern and markings can differ considerably between individual surrounds. Where the exact appearance of the stone is important, photographs of the available surround should be viewed before ordering.
Final dimensions, rebate requirements, hearth arrangement and compatibility with the selected insert, chamber or appliance should be confirmed before installation.
