Non-combustible mantel shelves are fireplace mantels made from fire-resistant materials like concrete, metal, stone, brick, etc. The non-combustible mantel shelves at Mantels Direct are available in metal, concrete, and cast stone. All models are rated for direct flame and high heat exposure.
Choose from various sizes from 30 inches to 90 inches and styles from rustic wood look mantels to sleek and modern stainless steel.
A classic wood beam over the fireplace has always posed some risk due to its flammable nature. With non-combustible mantels, you decrease the risk but keep the look you love. But fire resistance isn’t the only reason you might need a non-combustible mantel.
Many fire-resistant mantels are lighter weight than their counterparts. It’s much easier to install cast stone than a solid piece of wood or stone because they are hollow. Even concrete mantels can be a good lightweight option.
Traditional wood mantels look beautiful, but they pose a fire hazard, especially with modern fireplace inserts that generate high heat. Our non-combustible mantel shelves solve that problem by combining elegant aesthetics with code-compliant safety. Whether you're installing above a linear gas fireplace or upgrading an old hearth, these shelves are a smart, stylish choice.
No warping, cracking, or fire risk
Available in sizes from 30” to 90”
Choose from modern, rustic, or industrial styles
Easier installation thanks to lightweight construction
One of the top benefits of a non-combustible fireplace mantel shelf is minimal clearance requirements. While wood mantels typically need a 12-inch clearance, non-combustible mantels only require 6 inches, giving you more freedom in your fireplace design.
This makes them ideal for:
Linear gas fireplaces
Electric wall-mounted units
Tight or low-clearance fireplace installations
