Pearl Mantels 48 W x 42 H Mantel Surround for Home

There’s nothing quite like the cozy embrace of a crackling fire in an open fireplace. The flickering flames have an incredible ability to uplift your mood, casting away the stress of the day within moments. Yet, for a fireplace to genuinely feel like a part of your home, it must evoke warmth in our hearts even when it remains unlit. Pearl Mantels views the mantel not merely as a decorative element but as a stunning piece of furniture, serving as the emotional centerpiece of the room. It symbolizes roots, heritage, and tradition. Everything in the room is orchestrated around it—cherished items are displayed upon it, providing a sense of balance and stability to your entire space.

The design and quality of Pearl Mantels are exemplary, combining fine craftsmanship, exquisite details, and classic styles that complement any decor. Enhance your living space with this transitional mantel, designed to be the perfect focal point within your room. Constructed from Grade A medium density fiberboard (MDF), a highly versatile composite wood often utilized for various furniture applications, cabinetry, shelving, and decorative moldings, this mantel combines both aesthetic appeal and practicality.

The product is conveniently packaged in three components: two legs and one header. Attaching the legs to the header is a breeze, thanks to the included nuts and bolts. For effortless installation, a mitered hanger board assembly comes with it, along with a three-piece mitered scribe molding set that effectively conceals any gaps post-installation. With a 1.5-inch projection from the wall, this mantel allows ample space behind it to accommodate various finishing materials such as tile, stone, or marble.

Here are the specific dimensions of the mantel: the interior width is 48 inches, the interior height is 42 inches, and the total width from the outside leg to the outside leg at the base measures 61 inches. The shelf length reaches 65.25 inches, while its depth is 7.75 inches. The leg depth is 3.5 inches, and the overall height of the mantel stands at 52.75 inches. Weighing in at 60 pounds, it’s a substantial structure that commands attention in any setting. You can recognize an authentic Pearl Mantel by the elegant pearl inlay that adorns the right side of the shelf.

This mantel arrives painted white and is ready for installation, designed for ease of assembly. Simply attach the legs to the header and mount it on the included mitered hanger rail. It is advisable to consult a professional before opting to paint or stain your new mantel.

To complete the look, the included three-piece scribe molding set is essential. The 1.5-inch projection behind the mantel ensures uncomplicated installation over non-combustible materials such as marble or slate, allowing you to secure the scribe around the opening to effectively hide any gaps.

All assembly hardware required for the mantel is included; however, mounting the hanger rail requires specific hardware based on your mounting surface, as brick needs different mounting hardware than drywall. Remember that MDF is a combustible material; thus, it’s crucial to adhere strictly to heat clearance guidelines. When planning to install over a fireplace, always refer to your local building codes and the manufacturer’s instructions relevant to your fireplace insert or stove.
