Measuring
In most instances, its very easy to determine the correct size mantel for your fireplace as fireplaces generally come in two sizes.
- If you have a 36″ fireplace – the inside width of your mantel should be 48″.
- If you have a 42″ fireplace – the inside width of your mantel should be 54″.
This diagram below shows a few other things to consider when measuring your fireplace for a mantel.
Outside Width (Leg to Leg) – This measurement is generally the same as shelf length, but can be different. You want to make sure, if it measures differently that the mantel will still work for your application.
Inside Width – This is an important measurement, as you need this to be accurate to work in conjunction with your fireplace facing – more on this in the diagram below.
Height of Mantel – The height needs to clear your firebox opening, this will also determine if you will need to use corbels. Think of corbels as little blocks that go on the bottom of the legs if the mantel needs to be higher.
Inside Height – This needs to clear the header. The header is the facing (marble, tile, slate) that is above the firebox – it is generally 8″ high, but can vary.
Distance to Nearest Impediment – You want to make sure your mantel will not interfere with an adjacent window or light switch.
