The AFLLMPAUB from Fireside Finishings
A flush wood mantel that frames a 48" by 39-1/2" fireplace opening, 62-1/2" wide and 49-1/4" high overall, projecting 4-1/4" from the wall. The Fireside Finishings Laurel has a transitional frame in primed MDF with an unfinished maple top. Primed mdf with unfinished maple top arrives with the frame primed for paint and the maple top raw. from $2,049.
Choose the Laurel if you want a two-material mantel — paint the frame, stain the top.
It is not right if your fireplace opening is larger than the dimensions above — a flush mantel frames the opening and cannot be cut down. It also does not set your clearances: the mantel instructions cover the mantel only, and how far it must sit from the opening is dictated by your fireplace manufacturer's instructions.

How the B Laurel compares to the other Laurel sizes

Answers to common questions
How do I know this mantel fits my fireplace?
Measure the fireplace opening. This size frames an opening up to 48" wide by 39-1/2" high, and sits 62-1/2" wide by 49-1/4" high on the wall. If your opening is larger, move up a size — a flush mantel frames the opening and cannot be trimmed to fit.
How far does it have to sit above the firebox?
That is set by your fireplace, not by the mantel. The mantel's own instructions are explicit that they cover the mantel only and that you follow the fireplace manufacturer's installation instructions so the required clearances are met. Send us your firebox model and we will look up the clearance to combustibles with you.

-
Included in the box: The mantel, shipped flat for on-site assembly.
-
Required to complete the installation, purchased separately: Fasteners suited to your wall construction, plus paint or a finish coat on primed MDF and the unfinished woods; A stone surround if you want one — this mantel is sized for Set 1.
-
Optional: Corbels under the shelf — the mantel installs and looks complete without them.
Can I order it already stained?
Yes — Ebony, Provincial, New Gray and Whitewash are applied at the factory before it ships. Stained mantels are non-stock, so allow extra lead time.
Do I have to buy the corbels?
No. The mantel is designed to be ordered with or without them and looks complete either way — corbels are a decorative addition under the shelf, not a structural requirement.
Does buying online affect my Fireside Finishings warranty?
No. The Torch Guys is an authorized Fireside Finishings dealer, and we handle warranty registration and any claim on your behalf — you do not chase the manufacturer yourself.
