Safe, Stylish Beams for Modern Stoves
Striving for complete satisfaction, we offer non-combustable beams for stoves in a variety of widths and lengths. You can choose from aged or reclaimed, with a choice of finishes and details to complement your home decor. Capture the character and richness of genuine oak with a non-combustable mantel.
Why Choose a Non-Combustible Mantel?
Enhanced Safety
We appreciate that the installation of a traditional wooden beam may not be possible due to strict fire safety regulations. However, you can replicate the natural beauty of solid oak with an aged or reclaimed fireproof mantel beam. Cast using advanced fire-resistant materials, the non-combustable mantel can be safely positioned close to the fireplace or stove, following the manufacturer’s guidelines and fire safety regulations.
Suitable for Various Stoves
The non-combustible mantel beam is perfect for wood-burning, multi-fuel, or gas stoves, where there would otherwise be a fire safety risk. It means that you can replicate the authentic look of timber and keep your home safe.
Lightweight and Easily Installed
Lighter than solid oak mantels, the non-combustible beams can be handled and installed with ease. Each fireproof beam is supplied with ready-installed heavy-duty keyhole fixings.
Simply combine with your choice of fixtures and securely mount the non-combustible fireplace surround for a refined and natural look.
How Non-Combustible Beams Are Made
Focusing on exceptional realism and superior quality, the non combustible beams are crafted with a high level of care. We begin with the hand selection of a premium oak beam, which is used as a template for the capture of every natural detail.
Each non combustible mantel beam is expertly crafted in our North Yorkshire workshop, where we apply fire-safe materials to mimic the grain, tone, and texture of real oak. The result is an elegant and characterful timber effect fireproof beam that can be placed in desirable proximity to the stove or fireplace.
Non Combustible Mantel Style and Finish Options
As the final step in the hand-crafting of your non combustible mantel shelf, our UK artisans apply a high-quality finish, closely resembling the natural wood colour and grain. You can choose from a range of colour finishes for a desirable warmth and richness.
As mentioned, the non combustible beams are available in a range of lengths and depths to complement different fireplace surrounds and mantel shelf styles. You’ll be surprised at how much of a challenge it is to tell the composite fireplace beams apart from the solid oak alternatives.
Practical Guidance: Non Combustible Beams Fitting and Regulations
There are strict requirements when it comes to the clearance between stoves, open fires, and combustible materials. This varies depending on the heat output - the stove manufacturers will provide guidance on specific distances.
The fireproof beam is the best choice in any location where combustible oak or pine can’t be used. We make the installation of these non-combustible beams as easy as possible, ensuring compatibility with most fireplace surrounds. Attached to your choice of screws and wall plugs, the non-combustible mantel beam will ensure long-lasting heat resistance.
Non Combustible Mantel Beam Care and Maintenance
Non-combustible beams require little in the way of maintenance. Unlike real oak, they won’t warp, crack, or require re-waxing over time. All that’s needed is the occasional dust and wipe down for enduring aesthetic appeal.
Such is our confidence in the durability of these composite fireplace beams that we offer a lifetime guarantee across the range.
