INSTALLATION DIAGRAMS
• Thoroughly read through the installation instructions to familiarize yourself
with the process before beginning installation.
• Before installation acclimate the mantel to the room for at least 24 hours.
• Important! Any products intended to be used in an exterior application needs
to be top coated with a high quality clear coat exterior polyurethane with a UV
inhibitor to protect the nish from fading.
Safety Instructions
Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.
Wear proper protective gear.
Follow xture, power tools, paint manufacturers’ instructions, and users manuals.
Use common sense and follow good construction practices.
1. If needed, measure inside width of the
beam and cut wood blocking to t in-
side width dimensions. (Diagram A)
2. Simply attach wood blocking into studs
in desired installation location.
(Diagram B)
3. Apply adhesive to the 2 x 4 blocking.
4. Slide mantel over the 2 x 4 and screw
through the top of the mantel to anchor
it into the 2 x 4. (You can apply adhesive
on the edges of the mantel for extra
security.)
(Diagram C)
Note: We recommend using deck
screws as the thread pattern is made to
go through ner grained woods without
splitting and reduces the chance of any
damage.
Our faux mantels are durable but are for
decorative use only. The mantels are not
meant to support heavy weight.
