Buying guide
A mantel to bring your fireplace together
A slim shelf can give a fireplace a clean, modern line. A textured beam adds the character of timber or stone. Start with the shape and finish you love, then compare the available dimensions.
Find your material
Steel mantels offer floating profiles with a choice of finishes and decorative details. Concrete mantels recreate timber grain and stone textures. For a lighter look, explore clear glass shelves.
Wood-grain metal and cast concrete give a wood appearance without using a wood beam. Designs with real or composite wood inserts are different products, so look at the material of the model you choose.
Choose the proportions for your room
Think about the width you want across the fireplace, the shelf’s height and how far it projects from the wall. Standard sizes make choosing straightforward; custom options let you adjust dimensions where the model allows.
Plan the installation
Use the fireplace and mantel installation guides for wall support, fasteners and required clearances. For a TV above the mantel, check the TV’s heat limits too. A fireplace photo, model number and preferred shelf size will help our team guide you.
Talk through your mantel project or explore the products above to compare sizes, finishes and current pricing. See our shipping policy for delivery details.
Good to know
Questions people ask before they order
Are all mantel shelves non-combustible?
Check the selected model and its inserts. Steel, concrete and glass options are available, but a wood-look surface does not by itself identify the material. Design Specialties notes that its transitional shelves can have combustible composite wood inserts.
How is wood-grain metal different from wood inserts?
Wood-grain metal has a wood appearance on a metal shelf. Real or composite wood inserts are a different construction and can be combustible. Check the exact product and finish selected.
What dimensions should I choose?
Compare the shelf length, height (thickness) and depth. Available standard and custom dimensions vary by product. Also check the proposed placement against your fireplace instructions before ordering.
How are floating mantels mounted?
The mounting system depends on the model. Check its instructions and the support available in your wall. Use the specified fasteners for the mounting surface and follow the product’s load limits.
What's the warranty on a mantel shelf?
ExceptionalFire covers steel and concrete mantels for 3 years on workmanship and 2 years on finish. Glass mantels have 1 year on workmanship and 2 years on hardware. Longer applicable manufacturer coverage also applies. Full warranty terms.
Can I put a TV above the fireplace?
Check both the fireplace and TV manufacturers’ requirements, including clearances and operating temperature limits. A mantel alone does not establish that a TV position is suitable. Ask your installer to assess the complete installation.
