MANTEL CLEARANCE
Combustible mantel clearance can vary per the mantel size and location. Use chart and provided table for
information on mantel install. Do not anchor any mantel or shelf to the fireplace. Only use metal studs
above the fireplace as anchor points.
Non-combustible mantels do not have a minimum clearance to the
fireplace opening and can be brought as close to the glass as allowed by the frame of the fireplace.
Please
keep in mind any material used could potentially heat up dramatically the closer to the fireplace you bring
it and the longer the fireplace is on.
