How to measure your fireplace for a new mantel:
If you do not know what you want your actual mantel measurements to be or where to begin, please take some measurements of your existing fireplace area. Use the Measurements for New Mantel link, located above. You may not need to take all of these measurements. It is very important, however that you consider any windows or light switches that might prohibit the shelf, which is the widest point of the mantel.

A = Width of *facing material on one side of opening
B = Depth of facing material
C = Height of facing material
D = Total width of facing material
E = Height of hearth
F = Depth of hearth
G = Total Width of Hearth (this is often times the same as the total width of facing material)
H = Opening Height of Facing Material (might also be the same as the firebox opening height)
I = Opening Width of Facing Material (might also be the same as the firebox opening width)
J & K = Distance from a structure like a light switch or window to the facing material.
*Facing Material is brick, marble, tile, slate or any other material that surrounds the opening of a firebox or fireplace

Stain Grade Birch
Our stainable wood mantel is built from birch with solid white pine moldings

Oak
Our oak mantel is built using red oak veneer and solid oak moldings.


Installing your Fireplace Mantel
1. Remove the scribes from the back of the header. (These will be attached to the inside opening of the mantel after it is installed.)
2. Attach legs to header of fireplace mantel with screws provided. Legs should fit perfectly into header where ‘biscuit’ cuts are.
3. Place fireplace mantel against the wall where you want to install. With the mantel held against the wall, draw a line across the top of the mantel, marking the height.
4. Find the location of the studs below the shelf line and mark the location of the studs on the line.
5. Place fireplace mantel back against the wall and with a drill, drill a hole through the shelf at a 45 degree angle through the sheetrock and stud.*
6. Drive a finishing nail into each stud (should hold the mantel firmly to the wall). If not proceed to next step.
7. Repeat the same process as above on each leg using studs at the base of the wall and floor line.

If you do not wish to use nails, liquid nail can be used as well.
Once your fireplace mantel is installed, place three scribes (attached to the back of the header) along inside opening of mantel and secure with liquid nail, finishing nails or wood glue.
*If applying the fireplace mantel to brick, masonry nails or liquid nail can be used.

How to Install Facing before Mantel
Granite and marble are fragile. When installing your hearth, please do not place the granite or marble directly on the floor until you glue it permanently as it might crack. A backer board is strongly recommended as it will add stability to the hearth. Backer boards and adhesive may be purchased from your local home improvement store.
1. Center the backer board in front of fireplace and nail or glue it to the floor. Cut the board the same size as the hearth. Shim as necessary to ensure that it is flat.
2. Center the hearth in front of the fireplace; spread glue on the perimeter and the center. It is not necessary to completely cover with glue as the weight of the stone will help hold it in place. Be sure to position the polished side out.
3. Apply the glue to the back of the legs, and place on the wall; overlap the fireplace by approximately ½” on each side with the polished side toward the fireplace.
4. Apply the glue to the header (polished side should face the floor) and place on the legs. Be sure the legs are even with the header. Shim side if necessary. If necessary, use roofing nails to hold stone in place while it dries. At this point be very careful as you do not want the header and legs to fall. Allow to dry following manufacturer’s adhesive instructions.
5. Install mantel.
