It is cast in Burncrete, Lexington Hearth's non-combustible formulation certified to ASTM E136, and hand-painted in Lexington, Kentucky. Joinery detail is cast right into the face, so it reads like a working timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7.5\" H x 7.5\" D\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60\" and 72\" lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eASTM E136\u003c\/strong\u003e: Certified non-combustible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracket and screws included\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mounts into the wall studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 finishes listed\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hand-painted in Kentucky\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\u003eRickhouse Non-Combustible Mantel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart numbers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRH-5-LH-MD, RH-5-LH-PH, RH-5-LH-RC, RH-6-LH-MD, RH-6-LH-PH, RH-6-LH-WG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProfile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.5\" high x 7.5\" deep\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLengths listed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60\" and 72\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e106 lbs (60\"), 141 lbs (72\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurncrete non-combustible casting, hollow core\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCertification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-combustible per ASTM E136 (vertical tube furnace at 750°C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSurface detail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBark-edge waning, mortise and tenon joinery, checking, knots, saw marks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinishes listed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaduro, Pale Honey, Roasted Chestnut, Weathered Grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIn the box\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMantel, 3\" x 2\" mounting bracket, screws, touch-up kit (filler putty, paint, brush)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMade in\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLexington, Kentucky, USA\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\u003eCheck the fireplace clearance before you mount it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lexington Hearth's guideline is at least 6 inches above the fireplace for units under 50,000 BTU and 12 inches for 50,000 BTU and up, and it defers to local codes and the fireplace manufacturer's minimum clearances. Each piece is hand-cast and hand-painted, so color, weight and final size vary slightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions people ask us\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich lengths and finishes can I order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe list \u003cb\u003eMaduro\u003c\/b\u003e in 60 and 72 inch; \u003cb\u003ePale Honey\u003c\/b\u003e in 60 and 72 inch; \u003cb\u003eRoasted Chestnut\u003c\/b\u003e in 60 inch; \u003cb\u003eWeathered Grey\u003c\/b\u003e in 72 inch.

It also says to follow local building codes and the fireplace manufacturer's minimum clearances. Your fireplace manual has the final say, so check its mantel clearance before you mark the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does it mount?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt hangs on the mounting bracket in the box. The bracket screws into the wall studs with the 2.5 inch screws, then three 2.25 inch self-drilling screws fix the mantel to the bracket through the pre-drilled holes in its top. Lexington Hearth calls for \u003cb\u003e3 studs for a 60 inch mantel and 4 studs for a 72 inch mantel\u003c\/b\u003e, with each screw at least 1.5 inches into the stud. On masonry, use anchors rated for four times the load. Mantels are heavy, so plan on two people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I make it longer than 72 inches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Lexington Hearth makes a matching \u003ca href=\"\/products\/lexington-hearth-rickhouse-24-inch-mantel-extension\"\u003e24 inch Rickhouse extension\u003c\/a\u003e. It sets end to end with the main beam, and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/lexington-hearth-decorative-bracket-trim\"\u003edecorative bracket trim\u003c\/a\u003e covers the joint so the run reads as one beam. Lexington Hearth says this is how its mantels go past 72 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo corbels go with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLexington Hearth makes its \u003ca href=\"\/products\/lexington-hearth-rb-c-lh-md-rustic-corbels-maduro\"\u003eRustic Corbels\u003c\/a\u003e to coordinate with the Rickhouse. They are decorative and not weight bearing, so the mantel still hangs on its own bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I cut or drill it?\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 if you need a different length, ask us about a factory custom length. Also keep tape off the painted finish; cover it with paper or plastic first.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington","offers":[{"title":"60\" \/ Maduro","offer_id":67630719172882,"sku":"RH-5-LH-MD","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60\" \/ Pale Honey","offer_id":67630719205650,"sku":"RH-5-LH-PH","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60\" \/ Roasted Chestnut","offer_id":67630719238418,"sku":"RH-5-LH-RC","price":1699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"72\" \/ Maduro","offer_id":67630719271186,"sku":"RH-6-LH-MD","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"72\" \/ Pale Honey","offer_id":67630719303954,"sku":"RH-6-LH-PH","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"72\" \/ Weathered Grey","offer_id":67630719336722,"sku":"RH-6-LH-WG","price":1849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/2279\/1186\/files\/lexington-hearth-rickhouse-non-combustible-mantel.webp?v=1792564344","url":"https:\/\/www.aquaterrabackyard.com\/products\/lexington-hearth-rickhouse-non-combustible-mantel","provider":"Aqua Terra Backyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
