Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we provide very strong, high quality fixings. The screws are designed to fit in the wall approximately 6cm. All the weight is loaded vertically onto the fixings so 2 screws will hold an incredible amount of weight.
Our Mantelpieces must be fixed to a solid wall though.
We have created our wax colours page. It gives you a full overview of each colour, explaining the detail and subtle differences between the wax finishes.
We have also included example customer photos to show you how the colours look in a home environment, so head to our wax colours page and find out more.
Unfortunately due to the weight of timber we cannot offer any bigger sizes on our rustic mantels. This is due to delivery & manufacturing weight restrictions.
140cm length will be the largest mantel we can make.
