You may use the Empire 28 to 48 Inch Adjustable Fireplace Hood. These items are not necessarily tested extensively to get UL listing as they are meant to redirect heat.

A mantel shelf is typically sized by the full length of the shelf on top.  A three-sided mantel is typically sized by the interior opening width (inside leg to inside leg).

No, stone/noncombustible facing is never included with a mantel - the mantel itself consists of either just the shelf (if it is a mantel shelf) or legs, breast board and shelf (if it is a full fireplace mantel).

I have a flag stone fireplace that has an uneven surface surrounding my fireplace insert.  How hard will it be to install a full surround mantel?

Without a flat surface, it may indeed be challenging to install a full surround. You will likely need something custom-made on-site to accommodate your application.

About Fireplace Mantels

Mantels are one of the easiest and most affordable ways to spruce up the look of your fireplace. With typical lengths ranging from 24? to 72? inches wide, there is a size out there to accommodate just about every fireplace.

Fireplace mantels can be made as a single piece that mounts directly above your fireplace. They can also fully enclose the perimeter of your fireplace as a complete surround. Lucky for you, we have many fireplace mantels for sale including fireplace mantel kits. You can buy mantels in every color from gray, white and black to dark cherry, honey oak and fruitwood. Most mantels are made from pine or birch woods while you can find a few made out of concrete or different types of fiberboard. If you are interested in more information for finding a mantel that suits your needs and style, see our Fireplace Mantels Buyers Guide.
