"Lexington Hearth Mantels are inspired by old-growth timbers and beams salvaged from historic barns, farms, homes, and cabins across Bourbon Country. Part of the charm of Lexington Hearth Mantels and their products are the character marks that provide an authentic look and feel of antique timbers. The patina of time and hand-tooling methods that make these timbers so desirable also produce irregular dimensions that are difficult to accurately measure. So, when we describe a timber, we use nominal measurements that can be larger or smaller than the actual dimensions.

The dream of many homeowners is to have a fireplace and a TV on the same wall. Non-combustible mantels from Lexington Hearth can be placed closer to the fireplace opening to expand the usable area above a mantel while shielding televisions and decorations from excessive heat."
