What is the average width of a fireplace mantel?
The average width of a fireplace mantel is 6 inches wider than the fireplace on either side. It can occasionally be even wider. While deciding on the right width for your space, factors to be considered are firebox dimensions, fireplace surround dimensions, hearth and room size.
