Supplied with 3-6 supports depending on size. All my shelves come with a section in the mantel rear to accomodate the support bars and washer allowing the shelf to sit nice and snug against the wall. 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
15cm minimum from inset/cassette stoves
or
1.5x the diameter of a wood burners flue, for example a 4 inch flue would require a distance of 15cm or a 5 inch would require 19cm
Current building regs stipulate that unshielded versions require 3x the flue diameter so our shielded versions allow around 50% reduction.
