72 Inch Fireplace Mantels: Buying Guide

Choosing a 72 inch fireplace mantel

Match the wall, not just the firebox

On a wide chimney breast, the mantel length should answer the wall. Seventy two inches is the answer for walls eight feet and up.

Mount into structure

Six feet of solid timber is real weight. Studs or masonry anchors, never drywall alone.

Keep the clearance spec

The fireplace manual states minimum distance above the opening. That number wins every argument.
