Non-Combustible Fireplace Mantel Surround

DESIGN HIGHLIGHTS:

Horses and Kentucky have a long history together, and before there were automobiles for commuting, homes, and businesses across Kentucky had a hitching post to keep your horse from wandering. Our Hitching Rail Fireplace Mantel Surround pays homage to a simpler time when horsepower came with a saddle. Character details include deeply weathered woodgrain, tool marks, insect damage, nail holes, saw marks, checks & splits, and character knots.

FAUX WOOD:

Although our fireplace mantel shelves appear to be antique wood timbers and beams, they are actually made using our patented casting formulation. Every concrete mantel shelf is hand-cast, and hand-painted by incredible coloring artists to reproduce the natural patina and color nuances acquired with exposure to the elements over time. With every Lexington Hearth Mantel Shelf, you get the beauty of antique timbers, without the splinters. We call that “NATURE…Re-created!”

COLOR:

Mantel shelves are hand-painted and will have minor variances in color and highlights

• Maduro:

The rich Maduro finish is like a dark wrapper on a fine cigar. A gorgeous combination of dark mahogany base color, brown mid-tones, and finished with subtle honey and cream highlights.

• Pale Honey:

The Pale Honey finish is reminiscent of the pale golden color of bourbon after a few years of aging in a charred oak barrel. Light brown base color with light honey mid-tones, pale grey shadows, and finished with cream highlights.

• Weathered Grey:

The Weathered Grey finish is inspired by the natural grey color tones that untreated wood takes on when is exposed to the elements. Pale bluish-grey base with patches of honey tones, charcoal grey shadows, and finished with hints of pale green and cream highlights.

DIMENSIONS/WEIGHT:

The top rail has a cross-section of 5.5” x 5.5” and is 78.5” long, weighing in at 80 lbs. The rail rests on two posts that each measure 5.25” deep x 5.5” wide and 56” tall, with each post weighing 54 lbs. The posts can be adjusted for lower openings by trimming them with a diamond-bladed saw. (Fireplace Surround posts and top rail are individually hand cast and will have minor variances in weight and final dimensions)

NON COMBUSTIBLE CASTING MEDIA:

Our high-definition casting formulation is noncombustible and authentically replicates the rich wood grain & character details of antique timbers. Meets or exceeds ASTM E136 laboratory test standards for non-combustibility.

CENTER AIR-GAP CONSTRUCTION:

Reduces weight and minimizes heat transfer to the top of the mantel shelf.

INCLUDES:

Each mantel shelf kit comes with mounting brackets, fasteners, a touch-up kit, and installation instructions
