What it's used for
- Fireplace mantel shelf above a stove insert, gas fire, or open hearth

Fitting and handling
Allow the shelf to acclimatise in the room where it will be fitted for at least five to seven days before fixing, particularly in rooms with a working fireplace where temperature and humidity vary. The shelf can be fixed using construction adhesive, screws through a timber batten, or dowel rods depending on the wall substrate and the weight it will carry. Once fitted, finish with a suitable hard-wax oil or clear matt lacquer to protect the grain and prevent staining from ornaments or heat.
FAQ
Can I order a length shorter than 0.6 m?
Yes. Nottage Timber Merchants accepts bespoke orders, including shorter lengths and non-standard sizes. Contact the yard in Bridgend directly to discuss your requirements before placing an order.
Are the knots and checks in rustic oak a defect?
No. Rustic grade oak is selected specifically for its natural character. Knots, shakes, and grain variation are inherent features of the grade and contribute to the appearance, not signs of structural weakness in a mantel shelf application.
Can this shelf be used with an LED strip light rebate?
Yes. Nottage Timber Merchants can cut a rebate along the underside or rear edge of the shelf to accept LED strip lighting. Request this as a bespoke option when ordering and provide the channel dimensions required by your lighting system.
