Mantel above wood stove (not alcove)

[Stovepiper]

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I am looking for ideas as to how to safely install a mantel over a wall-side (not corner, nor alcove) woodstove.

Open to photos and advice! Thank you!

Clearances need to be honored. If they are close a mantel heat shield may be required or a non-combustible mantel installed.

Clearances should be mentioned in the manual of.your stove.

Non-combustible mantels

Starting a thread for folks that are looking for non-combustible mantels. These are very realistic, but made from concrete: http://magrahearth.com/natural-wood-series-gallery MagraHearth website http://magrahearth.com/
