Mantel Requirements
Combustible Mantels
•
The illustration below details mantel clearances and maximum mantel depth.
•
Any material that protrudes more than 3/4” (19mm) from the non-combustible facing is considered a
mantel and must meet the mantel requirements.
Combustible Mantel
Combustible mantel columns (legs) that protrude more than 3/4"
(0.75mm) from the glass frame must meet the 1" (25mm) sidewall
clearance. If they protrude 3/4" (0.75mm) or less, they may be placed
directly to the side (but not in front) of the fireplace.
Non-combustible mantel columns do not have a minimum clearance.
