Questions people ask us
Is it real limestone?
No. Lexington Hearth molds it from a real limestone mantel and casts it in its non-combustible Burncrete, then hand-paints it. You get the chiseled stone look in a hollow-core casting of 82 to 94 lbs.
Which colors are there?
The Rockface comes in Turfway Tan and Bluegrass Fog, and we list both in 60 and 72 inch. Lexington Hearth can match a custom color at the factory, so ask us if neither suits your surround.
How far above the fireplace can it go?
Lexington Hearth's install guide gives a general guideline for its non-combustible mantels: the bottom of the mantel at least 6 inches above the fireplace for units under 50,000 BTU, and at least 12 inches for units of 50,000 BTU and up. 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.
How does it mount?
It 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 3 studs for a 60 inch mantel and 4 studs for a 72 inch mantel, 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.
Can I cut or drill it?
No. 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.
