The Hanger Board system consists of 2 mitered hanger boards, one is attached to the
back of the surround and the other is packed separately in the carton and will attach
to your mounting surface. When married together, the mantel surround will be locked
in place on the wall.
* Mounting hardware for detached hanger board is NOT INCLUDED.
Do not proceed without full understanding of the firebox’s wood clearance requirements and local building codes.
Wood and MDF are combustible and required clearances must be adhered to or damage will occur to your mantel.
Measuring: With the header shelf still on the floor,
insert the detached hanger board as it would hang on
the wall and take the measurement from the bottom of
the leg to the bottom of the hanger board (see Figure A).
Do this for each leg and transfer these measurements
to your mounting surface, measuring from your floor
or hearth, wherever the legs will sit. Make sure your
hanger board is centered (see Figure B). When mounted
correctly, the mantel will simply hang on the hanger
board with the legs touching the floor or hearth. Once
mounted, if the mantel or shelf doesn’t seem to fit
snugly to the wall, you may put a small shim of paper,
cardboard, etc., to fill the gap where the 2 halves of the
hanger board meet. Ensure that all heat clearances
have been adhered to.
Centering: Find center point over firebox by measuring
from one side to the other, mark the center point on
mounting surface, do the same for the hanger board.
(See Figure B. )
Unfinished Wood Mantel Shelf: Always consult a pro-
fessional before applying paint or stain.
Pearl Inlay: If you have purchased an unfinished piece,
your Pearl Inlay is masked with red tape so that you
may paint or stain over it. After you have completed the
paint/stain process, remove the mask.

Always consult a professional.
We suggest that pilot holes be drilled into the hanger board prior to inserting the
appropriate hardware for final installation on the wall. Always attach to studs.
