Pearl Mantels 56W x 42H Unfinished Wood Mantel Surround for Architects

There's nothing quite as inviting as the warm glow of a crackling fire in an open fireplace. The flickering flames can elevate your mood and relieve the tension of even the most stressful day in a matter of moments. However, for a fireplace to truly become an integral part of your home, it must evoke warmth in our hearts even when it's not lit. The mantel serves as more than just decorative trim; it embodies the essence of the room, acting as its emotional center. It signifies our roots, heritage, and traditions. Furniture is thoughtfully arranged around this focal point, treasured items are displayed on its surface, and it contributes to the overall balance and harmony of the space.

Pearl Mantels offers high-quality furniture that features exquisite details and timeless designs, capable of enhancing any décor style. The mantel is delivered in three pieces: two legs and one header. Assembly is simple, as the legs are easily attached to the header using nuts and bolts. The package includes a mitered hanger board assembly for straightforward installation, along with a three-piece mitered scribe set to cleverly conceal any gaps post-installation. The mantel projects 1 ½ inches from the wall, creating enough space to accommodate tile, stone, or marble behind it.

Here are some key specifications: the interior width measures 56 inches, while the interior height stands at 42 inches. The overall width from outside leg to outside leg at the base is 77 ¼ inches, and the shelf itself is 79 ½ inches long, with a depth of 8 inches. The total height of the mantel is 56 inches, and it weighs 97 pounds. The pearl inlay has a protective mask to allow for easy painting or staining around it; you can simply peel away the mask after completing your finishing touches.

As for assembly and installation, all the necessary hardware is provided, with the exception of the mount for the hanger rail. Depending on your specific mounting surface, you will need to acquire appropriate hardware—note that the mounting requirements vary between surfaces such as brick and drywall. The installation is further simplified by the inclusion of a three-piece scribe set that seamlessly finishes the appearance, while the 1 ½-inch projection behind the mantel accommodates non-combustible materials like marble or slate, ensuring a secure fit.

It is crucial to remember that wood is a combustible material; therefore, adhering to heat clearances is essential. Before you start your installation, take time to check your local building codes and consult the manufacturer's instructions for your specific fireplace insert or stove.

Founded in 1995, we are dedicated to assisting you with your mantel transformation. At Pearl Mantels, we pride ourselves on being innovators rather than imitators. Look for the pearl inlay on the right side of the shelf to confirm that you have chosen an authentic Pearl Mantel.
