Standard Size Wood Mantels
These mantels are designed to fit standard size fireplaces - masonry or prefabricated fireplaces burning wood or gas. Some models are available in multiple sizes. Some come unfinished and ready to paint or stain, some come only in stained finishes. Click any model at left for complete details.
Measuring for Your New Mantel
The size mantel you choose may be limited due to several factors. You'll need a mantel opening that is at least 8" wider than your fireplace (B) on each side in the diagram below, and at least 10" taller than the opening (A). These are common safety code requirements for spark protection when burning wood in an open masonry fireplace.
Provide your fireplace measurements, referencing the diagram below:
 |
A ______ |
B ______ |
| C ______ |
D ______ |
| E ______ |
F ______ |
| G ______ |
H ______ |
Left Side:
I ______ |
Right Side:
I ______ |
"I" is distance to a corner,
doorway, window, etc. |
Assembly & Installation
Your mantel arrives in a long box with 3 sections: the breast/shelf (header) at the top and the 2 legs. Lay the shelf on the floor and bolt the 2 legs to the header.
Attaching your mantel to the wall
Mount the hanger board (included with most models) onto the wall. The hardware you use will depend upon the type of wall you're attaching to (sheetrock, brick, etc.) The underside of the mantel shelf is set onto and supported by the hanger board.
Scribe Molding (if applicable)
Once your mantel is installed, put the molding to the inside of each leg and just below the mantel shelf, attaching with small finishing nails or glue. The scribe molding fills in any gap between the leg and the inside opening of the mantel.
Shipping / Installation
These mantels ship by common carrier (freight line).
