Lexington Rickhouse Series Fireplace Non-Combustible Mantel
The Rickhouse mantel takes its look from the bourbon aging warehouses along Kentucky's Bourbon Trail. Lexington Hearth molded it from a 7.5" x 7.5" old-growth timber that came out of a Central Kentucky distillery, so the casting carries the bark-edge waning, mortise-and-tenon joinery, deep checks, knots and saw marks of the original beam.
It is cast in Burncrete, Lexington's non-combustible material, and hand-painted in Lexington, Kentucky. Model number RH-5-LH (60") or RH-6-LH (72"), followed by the color code.
A Bourbon-Country Beam for the Wall Above Your Fireplace
Certified non-combustible under ASTM E136, the Rickhouse can be mounted closer to a heat source than a wood mantel, which leaves more wall 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 keeps it light enough for a framed wall, and it looks at home over a gas fireplace or an electric one in a rustic great room or farmhouse living room. See the full Lexington Hearth line for the other series.

FAQs
Can I get the Rickhouse in a custom length or color?
Yes. Lexington makes custom lengths between 60" and 72", and shorter on request; past 72", add the 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 (three for the 60", four 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.
