Mantel Requirements

The illustration below details mantel clearances and maximum mantel depth.

Any material that protrudes more than 3/4” from the non-combustible facing is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel requirements.

Base of the Fireplace

Combustible mantel columns (legs) that protrude more than 3/4” from the glass frame must meet the sidewall clearance. If they protrude 3/4” or less, they must meet the facing clearance (2-1/4” from the glass frame - to the side of the fireplace, not in front of it).

Non-combustible mantel columns do not have a minimum clearance.

Examples: • If you wish to have a 8” deep mantel, it must be at least 12-1/4” above the fireplace face (49” above the base).

• If you wish to have a mantel 8” above the fireplace face, it must be no deeper than 3-3/4”.
