Choose shelf or surround
A mantel shelf sits above the fireplace, while a full surround frames the opening. Individual wood listings may be supplied as material for a project. Review the selected listing to confirm its format, finish and any fabrication or installation still required.
Measure the whole feature
Record the fireplace opening and surrounding wall dimensions. Compare shelf length, depth and thickness, or the surround’s overall and internal opening dimensions. Ask our team to clarify measurements before ordering if a dimension is unclear.
Confirm the installation
Have your installer check the fireplace manufacturer’s clearance requirements and applicable installation requirements, especially for wood mantels. Confirm the wall construction, support, mounting hardware and the selected piece’s weight. Do not assume a shelf or surround fits every fireplace.
