Calculate the dimensions for a custom mantel yourself by following steps 1, 2 & 3 or,
click here to complete our Fireplace Dimension Worksheet and we will do the calculations for you!
Step 1. Gather Your Fireplace and Facing Measurements.
Choose either the Standard or Full Wall illustration that best resembles your existing fireplace and facing, then note measurements A-N. (Some answers might be 0.")

Step 2. Determine Mantel Size.
Wood mantels are sized using just 3 dimensions: the mantel opening width, opening height, and mantel return. To determine what dimensions you need, follow these basic guidelines:

Precise Mantel Opening Width
Equals Facing Width "B" less (minimum) 1"
Precise Mantel Opening Height
Equals Facing Height "F" less (minimum) 1/2"
Precise Mantel Return
Equals Facing Thickness "I" plus (minim.) 1/2"
(Note: The mantel overlaps the outside edges of the facing. Make alterations to your facing prior to measuring.)Your mantel size may need to be altered due to the fireplace, wall, or hearth configuration. We will address this in the line drawing we send to you.
Step 3. Enter Measurements, Comments, Wood, Finish & Sizing Options.
Simply enter the A-N measurements you gathered in Step 1 in the fields below. If desired, enter a desired shelf height and desired inches of facing showing above and beside the firebox opening. Write a short note, if desired, choose a wood type and finish and the appropriate mantel opening width range, opening height range and return depth range. Enter the precise measurements for each, if you've calculated them. The price in the box at the bottom of the page changes as you make wood, finish and sizing selections.
Once you complete the checkout process, we will review your measurements and selections, and to insure a proper fit and customer satisfaction, you will receive a dimensioned line drawing of your custom mantel via email for your approval BEFORE your mantle is built and BEFORE your credit card is charged.

We will send a photo of our new mantel and fireplace! We love it! Thank you for making it such an easy process. When my friends ask where we bought our beautiful mantel and I tell them "online from DesignTheSpace.com", they never thought it would be possible.
Thanks again,

I was very pleased with the ease of ordering and the fact that you double-checked with me until everything was right. The mantel shipped promptly, was packaged well, and was received without issues.
The mantel was excellently made - very high quality (I admit, I was skeptical). And, best of all, it was so easy to assemble!

We purchased a fireplace mantel from you about a month ago, and I wanted to write and tell you how much we love it. I mean absolutely LOVE it. It's beautiful, it was super easy to install and makes our living room look gorgeous. I have adorned it with my Halloween items and just love looking at it.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends! Thank you!
