The wood version is light and easy to hang, while the non-combustible version is certified to ASTM E136 for use closer to the heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6.5\" deep\u003c\/strong\u003e: Dentil molding and beading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWood or Burncrete\u003c\/strong\u003e: Two builds of one design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eASTM E136\u003c\/strong\u003e: Non-combustible version only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e13 lbs or 50 lbs\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wood 48\" or non-combustible 72\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFederal Fireplace Mantel (Architect Series)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFD-4-WD-CH\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWood, 48\", Cherry, 13 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFD-6-LH-BK\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-combustible, 72\", Raven (black), 50 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDepth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWood version\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComposite wood veneer with classic millwork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNon-combustible version\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurncrete casting, certified to ASTM E136 (vertical tube furnace at 750°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetailing\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDentil molding, curves and beading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIn the box\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMantel, mounting bracket and fasteners; touch-up kit with the non-combustible version\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCustom sizes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot offered, because of the dentil molding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMade in\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLexington Hearth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe wood version is a combustible mantel.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mount the Cherry wood shelf only where your fireplace manufacturer allows a combustible mantel, at the height and depth its manual gives. The Raven non-combustible version follows Lexington Hearth's guideline of at least 6 inches above the fireplace under 50,000 BTU and 12 inches at 50,000 BTU and up, and the fireplace manual still has the final say.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask us\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the two versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey share the Federal design and 6.5 inch depth. The \u003cb\u003ewood\u003c\/b\u003e shelf is composite wood veneer, 48 inches long and 13 lbs, in Cherry. The \u003cb\u003enon-combustible\u003c\/b\u003e shelf is cast in Burncrete, 72 inches long and 50 lbs, in Raven, and is certified non-combustible to ASTM E136, so it can sit closer to a heat source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich one do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGo by your fireplace manual. If it calls for a non-combustible mantel at the height you want, or you want the shelf low under a TV, choose the non-combustible version. If the manual allows a combustible mantel at your height, the wood shelf works and weighs far less.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does it mount?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth hang on a bracket screwed into the wall studs. The wood shelf uses a French cleat or slim-profile bracket with 2.5 inch screws and one 2.25 inch screw through the top, and Lexington Hearth calls for 2 studs at 48 inches. The non-combustible shelf uses a 3 by 2 inch bracket and three self-drilling screws, with 4 studs at 72 inches. On masonry, use anchors rated for four times the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I get other sizes or colors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLexington Hearth does not make custom sizes of the Federal because of the dentil molding. The wood version also comes in Honey Oak, Luna and unfinished, and the non-combustible version in Luna and Avocado. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003eAsk us\u003c\/a\u003e about those.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I cut or drill the non-combustible version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Lexington Hearth warns against drilling, sawing, sanding or machining its cast mantels, because that can release ceramic fiber and crystalline silica dust. Use the pre-drilled holes and keep tape off the painted finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington","offers":[{"title":"Wood \/ 48\" \/ Cherry","offer_id":67630684766482,"sku":"FD-4-WD-CH","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Non-Combustible \/ 72\" \/ Raven","offer_id":67630684799250,"sku":"FD-6-LH-BK","price":1399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/2279\/1186\/files\/lexington-hearth-federal-fireplace-mantel.jpg?v=1792563654","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaterrabackyard.com\/products\/lexington-hearth-federal-fireplace-mantel","provider":"Aqua Terra Backyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
