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.
