Lexington Half-Round Sleeper Series Fireplace Non-Combustible Mantel
Sleeper beams were the floor joists of old Kentucky barns, and builders left the bark on because no one would ever see them. Lexington molded the Half-Round Sleeper from an 8" x 6" sleeper beam salvaged from one of those barns, so it keeps the pine-bark texture, rough-hewn tool marks, checks, splits and knots.
It is cast in non-combustible Burncrete and hand-painted in five colors. Model number HR-4-LH (48"), HR-5-LH (60") or HR-6-LH (72"), followed by the color code.
The Half-Round Sleeper: A Bark-Edge Log Mantel
The bark-covered half-round face gives it the look of a log mantel. Certified non-combustible under ASTM E136, it can be mounted closer to a heat source than real wood. 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 lightweight hollow core mounts with basic tools on a new or existing framed wall. Pair it with an electric fireplace or a gas unit, or see the rest of the Lexington Hearth collection.

FAQs
Can I get the Half-Round Sleeper in a custom length or color?
Yes. Lexington makes custom lengths between 48" and 72", and shorter on request. 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.
