Pearl Mantels ARYB48520 Premium MDF Fireplace Surround for Homeowners

There’s nothing quite as comforting and inviting as a crackling fire in an open fireplace. The flickering flames have the power to elevate your mood and erase the stress of a long day in just a few moments. However, for a fireplace to truly feel like part of the home, it must also warm our hearts even when there’s no fire burning in the grate. Pearl Mantels sees the mantel not merely as trim or molding, but as a stunning piece of furniture that serves as the room's centerpiece, the emotional heart of the space. It symbolizes heritage, tradition, and roots, creating a backdrop for furniture arrangement and displaying cherished treasures. This gorgeous focal point brings balance and stability to the room.

Pearl Mantels offers superb furniture quality with remarkable details and timeless designs that enhance any décor. The traditional styling seamlessly integrates into your living space, crafted from Grade A medium density fiberboard, commonly known as MDF. This composite wood is widely used in furniture, cabinetry, shelving, and decorative moldings due to its durability and versatility. The mantel arrives in three easy-to-assemble pieces: two legs and one header. Connecting the legs to the header is simple with the provided nuts and bolts. Additionally, a mitered hanger board assembly, along with a three-piece mitered scribe molding set, is included to facilitate easy installation and conceal any gaps once the mantel is in place.

This mantel features a 1 1/2-inch projection from the wall, allowing adequate space behind it to accommodate tiles, stone, or marble. Its dimensions include a 48-inch interior width and a 42-inch interior height, while the width from outside leg to outside leg at the base is 58 inches. The shelf length measures 62 inches, with a depth of 8 inches, and the overall height of the mantel is 52 inches, tipping the scales at 42 pounds. An authentic Pearl Mantel is easily identifiable by the distinctive pearl inlay on the right side of the shelf.

The finish is paint-grade, arriving painted white and ready for installation. Assembly and installation are user-friendly: simply attach the legs to the header and mount it using the mitered hanger rail provided. For a polished appearance, the included three-piece scribe molding set completes the look. The 1 1/2-inch projection allows for effortless installation over non-combustible surfaces such as marble or slate, while securing the scribe trim around the opening covers any gaps.

All necessary assembly hardware is included, but consider that the hardware for mounting the hanger rail must be purchased separately, specific to your mounting surface. For instance, brick and drywall require different types of mounting hardware. It's essential to note that MDF is a combustible material, hence appropriate heat clearances must be observed. If you plan to install over a fireplace, make sure to check local building codes and adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific fireplace insert or stove.
