No problem! Simply select the correct custom tab above and leave a note for your preferred size in the comment box and I will do the rest..

-Set Height-

The shelf is supplied in two drop heights, depending on the depth selected. This allows for optimum strength to support the depth required.

4.3 cm high (with a shelf depth of 15 cm or under).

or

5.3 cm high (with a shelf depth over 15 cm up to 20 cm).

The drop is the downward-facing section (or leg) that sits against the wall and houses the wall fixings.

Fairly light at approx. 7kg per 122cm length x 15cm depth

- Weight Capacity - 

Super heavy duty shelf that can withstand over 60KG placed on top.

-Material-

Constructed from dense heat grade steel, extremely durable, and exceptionally stable. Designed for outstanding heat resilience, every component is fire-rated and fully non-combustible.

-Fitting-

Supplied with 4-6 coach screws, washers and wall plugs depending on length chosen.

A simple and details fitting information sheet is supplied with your order.

As each mantel is made to order and hole positions can vary slightly so a generic a template is not supplied with this shelf design.

Simply offer the mantel up to the wall and get it nice and level using a spirit level, then mark the hole positions to the wall, can be helpful to have a second person handy to do this while you are holding the mantel. Drill the holes and fit. All Done. 

-Placement & Clearance- For safe installation, we recommend positioning your non-combustible shelf at least 15 cm away from the heat source. This minimum clearance allows for adequate airflow and heat dispersion, helping maintain safe operating temperatures around your wood burner, log burner, inset stove, or open fireplace.

Because these shelves are made from a non-combustible steel, they are highly resistant to heat and will remain stable even when installed closer to the heat source than traditional timber mantel beams.

Under UK Building Regulations – Approved Document J (Combustion Appliances and Fuel Storage Systems), combustible materials such as timber mantel beams must usually be installed at significantly greater distances from a stove or fireplace opening. Non-combustible materials, however, are not subject to the same clearance restrictions, which makes them an ideal choice for fireplace shelves above wood burners and stoves where space may be limited.

Even when using A1 non-combustible materials, we still recommend allowing a minimum 15 cm clearance to promote airflow and prevent excessive heat build-up. Always follow your stove manufacturer’s installation guidance and consult a qualified installer or building professional where required.

This makes my fireproof shelves a practical and safe solution for installation above log burners, inset stoves, open fires, and kitchen chimney hoods, combining modern fireplace safety with durable, heat-resistant design.

-TV Heat Protection & Safe Use-

The steel shelf acts as an effective heat deflector if you’re looking to position a TV above your fireplace.

For effective heat deflection, I recommend a minimum 50mm overhang beyond the front of the TV, measured at its furthest point from the wall. However this is the recommended minimum, if you have a high power burner then it may be worth allowing more overhang. If you require a deeper shelf to accommodate your specific TV dimensions, get in touch with your preferred sizing and I will get back to you with available options.

I also recommend approximately 50mm of overhang on each side of the TV, meaning the shelf should ideally be around 100mm wider than the TV.

Please note that, as this is a metal shelf, the steel can absorb heat from the fire. For this reason, I do not recommend placing electronic items, freestanding candles or other heat-sensitive objects directly on the shelf while the appliance is operating, only stone, ceramic, metal or other suitable non-combustible items should be placed on it.

As with any TV installed above a fire, the customer is responsible for ensuring that the TV is positioned at a safe distance from the heat source and remains within the manufacturer's recommended operating temperature limits, where specified, this is a guideline rather than a guarantee of safe operating temperatures, as heat output and installation conditions vary.

I cannot accept responsibility for damage to electronic equipment resulting from inadequate clearances, excessive temperatures or unsuitable positioning. The customer must ensure that the installation is suitable for their particular appliance and TV, taking account of the relevant manufacturers' instructions.

If you have any questions about the product or its suitability for your installation, please do get in touch before ordering.

Thank you :)
