I have one of those 5 brick wall mounted gas heaters and was wondering if it is possible to make a faux looking fireplace around it. Could a mantel be put over it? :? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Does your unit have a blower on it? Last I remembered with these units was that nothing was suppose to be within 3 feet of them. You could do a google on your unit simply by typing in the model number and brand.

Other than that I see no reason why you couldn't do a faux fire place surround. Hopefully others will chime in with their thoughts or possible ideas.

I'm like the robot in the Alley Sheedy movie,,,,,iiiinput, I need input..

Marble and stone mantles are used above some good sized/output fireplaces so they will withstand some heat..Go with Yanita's idea tho and check with the manufacturer for specs.. also Your insurer may have a few things to say.

Me,,I got nuthin.. :)
