MANTELS
Depending on the width of the mantel it may be installed higher or lower from the top of the louvre opening. See drawing and chart below for proper installation height of your combustible mantel piece.
When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent discolouration.
