Chalkville Custom Wood Fireplace Mantel

Affordable and attractive, the Chalkville traditional fireplace mantel surround adds extra character to rooms with a framed wooden panel motif. Note that any of our wood mantels can be built with an overmantel (see our Leesburg mantel) or a deeper return depth - what we call a cabinet mantel - to accommodate extra deep facing or to fit fireboxes that protrude into a room. Each mantel is carefully crafted to give years of beauty, durability and style to your home, and is available in six wood types and numerous finishes!

Standard Dimensions
Shelf Depth = 7" when Return Depth is 1 1/2"
Shelf Length = Mantel Opening Width + 18 1/2"
Leg Width = 5 3/4"
Header Height = 12 3/4"

Calculate the dimensions for a custom mantel yourself by following steps 1, 2 & 3 or,
click here to complete our Fireplace Dimension Worksheet and we will do the calculations for you!

Step 1. Gather Measurements.
Choose either the Standard or Full Wall illustration and gather measurements A-N. (Some answers might be 0.")

Step 2. Determine Mantel Size.
Wood mantels are sized using just 3 dimensions: the mantel opening width, opening height, and mantel return. To determine what dimensions you need, follow these basic guidelines:

Precise Mantel Opening Width
Equals Facing Width "B" less (minimum) 1"

Precise Mantel Opening Height
Equals Facing Height "F" less (minimum) 1/2"

Precise Mantel Return
Equals Facing Thickness "I" plus (minimum) 1/2"

(Note: The mantel overlaps the outside edges of the facing. Make alterations to your facing prior to measuring for a new mantel.)

Your mantel size may need to be altered due to obstructions on the fireplace, the wall, or the hearth configuration. We will try to address this in our line drawing reply to you.

Step 3. Enter Measurements, Comments, Wood, Finish & Sizing Options.
Simply enter the A-N measurements you gathered in Step 1 in the fields below. If desired, enter a desired shelf height and desired inches of facing showing above and beside the firebox opening. Write a short note, if desired, choose a wood type and finish and the appropriate mantel opening width range, opening height range and return depth range. Enter the precise measurements for each, if you've calculated them. The price in the box at the bottom of the page changes as you make wood, finish and sizing selections.
