Lexington Flat Sawn Beam Series Fireplace Non-Combustible Mantel
The Flat Sawn Beam is modeled on a rough-cut western red cedar beam and inspired by the four-rail paddock fences on Kentucky's thoroughbred farms. Its top and bottom show rough-sawn grain, and the smooth face carries circular saw marks.
At 4" high and 8.25" deep, its narrow face was designed for contemporary and transitional homes. It is cast in Burncrete and hand-painted in five colors. Model number FS-4-LH (48"), FS-5-LH (60") or FS-6-LH (72"), followed by the color code.
The Flat Sawn Beam: A Slim Timber Line for Transitional Rooms
The low 4" face works over a linear fireplace as well as a traditional one, and the ASTM E136 rating lets it mount closer to a heat source than wood, with more wall left for a TV. Lexington's install guide calls for at least 6" of clearance above equipment under 50,000 Btu and 12" at 50,000 Btu or more; your fireplace's clearances and local code come first.
The hollow core mounts on a framed wall with the included bracket. See the full Lexington Hearth collection for the rustic series.

FAQs
Can I get the Flat Sawn Beam in a custom length or color?
Yes. Lexington makes custom lengths between 48" and 72", and shorter on request. Past 72", add the 2 ft extension and bracket trim. Burncrete should not be cut or sanded on site, so order the length you need. Custom colors are matched at the factory. Reach out to our team for a quote.
How is it installed?
With two people and basic tools. Screw the bracket into the studs (2 for the 48", 3 for the 60", 4 for the 72"), set the mantel on it, drive three screws down through the top, then fill and touch up the holes. For walls other than wood framing, consult a professional.
