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 Depth
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.
