Elegant MDF Mantel Surround for 48 Fireplaces, Crisp White

Nothing evokes warmth and a sense of welcome quite like the crackling flames of an open fireplace. These flickering flames have the power to elevate your mood and alleviate the stresses of a long day within just moments. However, for a fireplace to truly resonate within a home, it should warm our hearts even in the absence of fire. Pearl views the mantel not merely as a decorative trim or molding, but as a striking piece of furniture that serves as the emotional center of the entire room. It embodies our roots, heritage, and traditions. Around this focal point, furniture is thoughtfully arranged and cherished treasures are prominently displayed, thereby providing a sense of balance and stability throughout the space.

Pearl Mantels offers exquisite craftsmanship, characterized by fine furniture quality, intricate details, and timeless designs that can complement any decor style. Featuring clean lines and an effortless transitional style, the mantels also provide generous shelf depth for showcasing decorative items. Each mantel is crafted from Grade A medium density fiberboard, commonly known as MDF. This composite wood material is frequently utilized in furniture, cabinetry, shelving, and decorative moldings.

The mantel arrives in three separate pieces: two legs and one header. Attachment is straightforward, with the legs easily connecting to the header using nuts and bolts. Included in the package is a mitered hanger board assembly, ensuring simple installation. To cover any gaps post-installation, a three-piece mitered scribe molding set is provided. With a projection of 1.5 inches from the wall, it creates a convenient recess behind the mantel to accommodate various finishing materials such as tile, stone, or marble.

In terms of dimensions, the mantel boasts an interior width of 48 inches and an interior height of 42 inches. The overall height stands at 50 inches, with the width from outside leg to outside leg at the base reaching 60.5 inches. The shelf length measures 66.75 inches, while its depth is 11 inches, and the leg depth is 7.5 inches. Weighing 79 pounds, the mantel is substantial yet manageable. Look for the pearl inlay on the right side of the shelf to ensure the authenticity of your Pearl Mantel. It arrives painted and ready for installation, requiring only easy assembly—simply attach the legs to the header and mount it on the included mitered hanger rail.

To achieve a polished look, finish with the provided three-piece scribe molding set. The 1.5-inch projection allows for seamless installation over non-combustible materials like marble or slate while securing the scribes around the opening to conceal any gaps.

All necessary assembly hardware is included, except for the mounting hardware for the hanger rail, which should be purchased according to your specific mounting surface; note that different surfaces like brick will require distinct hardware compared to drywall. It’s important to remember that MDF is classified as a combustible material. Therefore, adherence to heat clearances is crucial. When installing over a fireplace, it’s wise to consult local building codes and follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific fireplace insert or stove.
