  • • What are Lexington Hearth mantels made of?

    Our high-definition Burncrete is a patented non-combustible casting formulation, that authentically replicates the rich wood grain and character details of antique wood. Each Lexington Hearth mantel is meticulously hand-painted, by talented coloring artists, to capture the natural weathered character and color nuances acquired with long-term exposure to the elements over the years. The result is the realistic look of an antique mantel suitable for fireplace designs requiring non-combustible materials.

  • • Can I mount Burncrete, non-combustible mantels above any type of fireplace?

    Yes, our Burncrete, non-combustible mantels can be placed above any gas, electric, or even wood-burning fireplaces. Make sure when mounting your mantel, you meet clearances to combustibles.

  • • What kind of items can be placed on the mantel?

    The limit is your imagination! Our mantels are the perfect for various décor, picture frames or trinkets. If you choose to hang anything from the mantel (such as garland around the holiday season), make sure it is high enough up to meet clearances to combustibles from your fireplace.
