Flameko Mantel Surround - White and White

No, the Flameko Mantel Surround is a decorative frame only. The electric fireplace insert is sold separately and is required to complete the look of a fireplace.

This mantel surround is specifically designed to fit FlameKo Verona 16-inch electric fireplace inserts.

Yes, the Flameko Mantel Surround requires assembly. It comes with easy-to-follow instructions and all necessary hardware for self-assembly.

The mantel surround is constructed from MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard) with a white finish and features a white marble effect back panel.

While technically possible, painting over factory finishes can be tricky. It is not recommended as it may void any finish warranty and might not achieve the desired result without proper preparation. Consult a professional or the manufacturer if you wish to change the color.

To clean, simply wipe the surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which could damage the finish. Regular dusting will help keep it looking new.

The mantel is designed to sit flat against a wall, but it is a freestanding unit. For added safety and stability, especially in homes with children or pets, securing it to the wall with appropriate anchors is recommended (anchors not included).

Carefully re-check all screw connections and fasteners, ensuring they are tightened securely. Make sure the mantel is placed on a flat, level surface against the wall. If needed, use small shims under the base to correct any unevenness.

Verify that your fireplace insert is a 16-inch FlameKo Verona model. This mantel is specifically designed for that size and brand. Inserts of different dimensions or brands may not fit properly. Double-check the dimensions of your insert against the mantel's specifications.

This mantel is designed with no skirting cutout. If your wall has skirting boards, a gap will naturally occur. You can choose to leave it as is, or for a more integrated look, you may consider adding a small decorative plinth or trim piece behind the mantel to bridge the gap (this requires additional materials and DIY skill).

For light marks, try gently cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper scuffs or scratches, a white furniture touch-up pen or paint may be used, though it's best to test on an inconspicuous area first.
