*Venting Requirements: This unit requires venting pipe with an inner diameter of 6 Inches. Please see the Venting Components section on this page for venting pipe that must be used with this unit. Safety is the most important concern when installing a stove or any other heating appliance. With a HomeSaver Mantel Heat Shield you can dramatically reduce the clearances required for both stovepipe and unlisted stoves. And that gives you the flexibility to place your stove where you want it, not just where it will fit. |

Can I cut the heat sheild to 26 inches to fit my fireplace?
1 Answer
Yes, this is 24 gauge steel that can be modified. You will have to redrill your mounting holes as well and will probably want to use a hi-temp black paint to finish off the cut edges.

This shield is 47" X10". The top of my fire place is 53" and my mantel width is 7.5". Does eFireplace have a shield for me?
1 Answer
We do not have a shield this size, but you can have one locally made out of galvanized steel with hi-temp black paint.

My mantle is 15 1/2 inches; how can I protect it from the heat?
1 Answer
A mantel this deep would likely need a heat shield custom made. Unfortunately, this is not something we offer. One could be cut from a piece of 22 gauge sheet metal and mounted to the underside of the mantel with an air gap.

from CA asked:
May 18, 2017
If my fireplace mantel is getting too hot, as the fireplace was put in many years ago, how can a metal shield protect it? Won't that just get hot and then, in the case of the mantel, even hotter?
1 Answer
The mantel shield is spaced out from the mantel surface with spacers, so the mantel shield may get quite hot, but the gap between the metal and combustible metal will reduce any heat transferred to the mantel greatly.

I have an outside gas fireplace the does not have a chimney. I wondered if you had another option for a shield that would redirect the hot air more into the space, to get more heat to the people.
1 Answer
Unfortunately, we do not have a hood that is meant for use outdoors. You will likely need to have one custom fabricated with stainless steel.

from Utah asked:
March 7, 2016
Our mantel is about 10.25 inches deep. There would be a very small gap at the back of the shield. Is that ok? Do you have any suggestions if you see this as a concern?
1 Answer
The installation of this heat shield will not serve as a corrective action for a mantel installed at the incorrect height above a fireplace opening and will only prevent cracks and discoloration of an existing wood mantel. As such, the portion of the mantel that is uncovered may discolor and I would recommend purchasing a section or sections of 24 gauge galvanized sheet metal locally to fasten to the back of the shield with screws. You may use a can of Thurmalox Low-Sheen Black Paint - 12 oz. Spray Can - 42100 to match the color of the heat shield after the sheet metal is cut and attached.

It is possible to cut this HomeSaver mantel heat shield? As you can see, I need to cover the center mantle beam support. If I can't trim this heat shield, is there anything else that you would suggest I use?

You can most certainly cut this item to suit your needs.

from MD asked:
October 26, 2014
Our mantel is about 76 inches long and 4 inches thick. Does this heat shield work for most mantels? Is there room for air to circulate?
1 Answer
This does indeed work for most mantels with a flat underside and it can be cut to fit for various depths. There are indeed spacers that are included to maintain air space between the shield and the mantel bottom.

from Dallas, Texas asked:
June 3, 2014
What are the thermal properties of the shield? Is it UL listed / rated? I want to know if there is a maximum temperature specification, and would this ever warp?
1 Answer
Per the manufacturer, this product does not carry a UL listing. It has been tested to 550 degrees without warping, but is designed purely as a supplemental guard to prevent discoloration or cracking of a wooden mantel.

Doug
from Buchanan Dam, TX asked:
December 7, 2011
Does the 2.75" angled lip install against the stone wall of a fireplace below the mantel or is it meant to protect the "front side" of the mantel? Can the angled lip be "shortened" if it is deeper than the depth of the underside of the mantel and the decorative wood front?
1 Answer
The angled lip on this shield is meant to protrude out and up along the front of the mantel.
It would be difficult to shorten the lip, given the radius that has been applied to it. If the shield needs to be shortened, your only option would be to trim it on the straight, back end of the shield.

Life Saver
When we purchased our new fireplace the store never said anything about having to place the mantle 26" above the fireplace. That would have placed it about ceiling level. This item allowed us to place it much lower.
By David from

Does the job
My mantel is narrow at the bottom and slopes up so I had to reinforce the shield with two pieces of aluminum angle and drill new holes for the front. It fits perfect now and protects the mantel.
Prossimple and economical
Consa little flimsy in the middle and not that attractive
