Frequently Asked
Why does non-combustible matter?
Traditional wood mantels require a minimum 12" clearance from the fireplace opening, which forces a higher mantel position and adds a fire-hazard risk over time as wood warps and discolors. Non-combustible steel can be mounted directly above the firebox with zero clearance, meets all building codes, and is safe above both gas and wood fireplaces — giving you a cleaner look and a lower profile.
Is Custom Old World Metal Floating Mantel Shelf Non-Combustible non-combustible?
Yes. Every shelf is certified non-combustible and safe for direct fireplace mounting. Meets all US building codes for fireplace clearance.
What is the starting price?
Pricing starts at $725. Final price depends on length, depth, finish, and any add-ons (LED lights, brackets, banding) selected in the configurator.
How long does Custom Old World Metal Floating Mantel Shelf Non-Combustible take to ship?
Custom-built and shipped in 14–21 days. Free shipping included on every order to the contiguous US.
