Fireplace Mantels

A mantel changes a fireplace from a feature into the focal point of a room. MoldingMart stocks a range of mantel styles — from clean modern shelves to traditional carved profiles with corbels and capitals — ready to install over wood, gas, or electric fireplaces.

Most of our mantels are paint-grade MDF or finger-jointed wood, sized for standard fireplace openings. For custom dimensions or unusual installs, give us a call — we’ll help you spec what fits.

What to Consider Before You Buy

  • Mantel height — most building codes require 12" of clearance above a fireplace opening.
  • Mantel depth — 6" or 8" deep shelves work for most rooms; deeper if you plan to display objects.
  • Material — paint-grade for matching trim, stain-grade for natural wood looks.
