Metal Mantels

Insulated Metal Mantel Shelves
Protect Your TV From Heat!

Our Hearth Creation steel mantels can be made with high temperature insulation to help protect your TV and other electronic equipment from excess heat. In most cases, adding insulation to a metal mantel will give you the protection you need. But every fireplace is different, so before you place a sound-bar or other electronic equipment directly on or above the mantel, you should do some testing to make sure it is safe. Build a fire or turn on your gas fireplace for an hour and then check the temperature on top of the mantel and above where your TV will be installed. Check the owner's manual of your equipment to see if it is within an acceptable range.

Hearth Creations mantels can be custom made to virtually any width depth and height up to and over 96". They are very easy to install and make a great DIY task. Choose from a wide variety of finishes and decorative treatments. If you have a TV over your fireplace, we can provide insulation to help shield your TV from heat*. Below are some examples of applications in rooms as well as some basic options. We can do much more than shown here, so just give us a call and let up design the perfect non-combustible metal mantel for your fireplace.

Corbels are strictly decorative, they do not provide any additional support as they are attached to the bottom of the mantel with strong magnets.

Finishes

Each mantel is available in the powder coat and hand crafted finishes represented below. These computer generated representations are meant to give you a general idea of the finish options. these images will look different on every computer monitor and the actual finish varies between each mantel as they are made one at a time. Even more, the lighting in your room will have a major impact on how the finish looks. For these reasons, we do not accept returns based on the finish. If you are the least bit concerned that the finish needs to be precise, we do not recommend ordering a custom steel mantel anywhere online. If you are worried about selecting the right finish, email us pictures of your fireplace and our experts will be happy to make a recommendation.

Installation

Installation is very easy. The mantel comes with a hanger that you attach to the studs or bricks in the wall. Once that is done, you simply slip the mantel over the hanger and it locks in place. You can easily remove the mantel by lifting up on it and pulling it off the hanger. To prevent warping and discoloration position the bottom of the mantel at least 10" from the top of the fireplace opening.

Disclaimer

*Although a steel mantel will obviously provide heat deflection, we make no guarantee your TV or other electronic equipment will not be damaged from heat. The amount of heat that comes out of every fireplace varies and no specific testing has been done to show exactly how much heat will be deflected by these steel mantels. If you set any electronic equipment (such as a sound-bar) directly on top of the mantel, we recommend you pack insulation inside the mantel. We also recommend you test the temperature of the mantel surface and TV after the fireplace has been running for at least 30 minutes. Refer to the manufacturer of your electronic equipment for information about how much heat your equipment can handle.
