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. |

Will this be too large for a mantel with a 9-inch depth?

November 19, 2019
If I use the heat shield can I shorten the clearance needed for a mantel so I can have room to install a TV above the mantel?
1 Answer
We cannot advise on the reduction of this stated clearance, as that can only be specified by the manufacturer of the fireplace itself. While this heat shield will help mitigate the heat, we cannot rule out heat damage to your television.

My wood mantel is 8" wide so it must be 18" above the fireplace. If I install the HomeSaver Mantel Heat Shield, how much lower can I install my mantle?
1 Answer
While it will help keep the mantel from getting hot, it is not approved to reduce the clearance required for your mantel.

We had a gas fireplace insert installed. However, we noticed that the lintel and the stones get very hot. From stone to stone the opening is 47". Can you make a recommendation for us?
1 Answer
This would be the most appropriate heat shield that we carry.

Debbie
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.

Is it UL listed / rated? Is there a maximum temperature specification? 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.

from Buchanan Dam, TX asked:

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.

Exactly what we needed
Our mantel is much too close to our wood stove, and this heat shield was exactly what we needed. The picture included isn't a great picture, but I hope it shows how . . . unobtrusive the shield is. You really don't notice it's there. Works great, looks great.
One note - our shield arrived slightly bent from shipping, despite the bubble wrap and second layer of cardboard. Luckily, it was easy to bend back into shape.

Pros- Easy to install
- Lightweight (under 7.0 lbs.)
Cons- Online measurements (47" x 10") don't include the lip in the back, which we had to cut off.
- I saw some online advice suggesting snips to cut the shield. For me, using the cordless jigsaw was much better and faster.

Great Heat shield
This was a good purchase. It was a little to long and deep for my mantel so we had a welding shop cut it to fit. Easy install and it does the job beautifully.
ProsProtect the mantel.
ConsHad to make it 1 inch smaller and 1 inch narrower.

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.

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
