Owner Manual

the grout bag supplied with every mantel, to fill in any indentation; once the grout dries, it
will blend in with the rest of the surrounding surface.
Why do I need filler panels?
Filler panels are used to cover the area between the firebox opening and the surround
when the desired mantel is larger than the firebox.
Can I cut the filler panels on site?
We include 3 filler panels with our mantels. The filler panels can be cut with an angle
grinder or hand saw.
Can I use the EXTRA filler panel I order to tile my wall?
NO our extra filler panels are meant to be used ONLY when your firebox is raised from the
floor. Our filler panels are too heavy and cannot be used for any other purpose.
How do I install my mantel?
Our mantels arrive in separate pieces with detailed pictorial instructions.
Our mantels can be installed with minimal effort by an average handy person but remember
that the mantels weigh up to 600 lbs in total so more than one person is needed to install
the mantel.
Your retailer’s installation department can also perform the installation or recommend an
installer.
Can I install my mantel outside?
NO. Historic Mantels are for indoor use only.
Are their any clearance requirements for open gas or wood burning
fireplaces?

around any open gas or wood burning fireplaces.
Do your mantels go around real wood burning fireplaces?
