Oak Mantel with Non Combustible Heat Shield -Fireplace Mantle Shelf- Jacobean

Contemporary Solid Prime Oak Floating Fireplace Mantel Shelf with a Non Combustible Heat Shield Deflector- supplied with concealed fixings
 
The heat shield deflector allows the mantel to be much closer than standard timber mantle beams (read below for more info). perfect mantle shelf above a wood burner, inset stove, open fires, mantelpiece stoves, kitchen chimney hoods, and more. They will remain strong and stable with fluctuating heat, even when placed close to the heat source while still adhereing to current building regs.
 
Very popular design for those who wish to place a TV above the stove.

The support bars supplied are suitable for solid walls. note that if you have a hollow plasterboard wall then get in touch as I have options for all wall types .Simple & detailed fitting instructions are provided in the box.
 
-Placement-
Recommended distances from heat source to allow for adequate air flow and adhere to current UK building regs.
30cm from inset/cassette stoves, but may be reduced to 25cm if appliance manufacture guidance allows.
or
1.5x the diameter of a wood burner flue. For example, a 4-inch flue would require a distance of 15cm or a 5-inch would require 19cm, etc. The flue is considered a heat source (unless insulated), so the mantel should be placed at a distance, diagonally or vertically measured from the flue to the underside of the mantel shield.
Current building regs stipulate that unshielded mantels require 45cm+ clearance or 3x the flue diameter, so our shielded versions allow around 50% reduction.
 
Note: the above is based on UK building regulation guidance and top brand stove manufactures recommendations. You should always refer to your specific appliance manufacturers' guidance for safe clearances to heat shield/deflector mantels.
