We finally pulled the trigger on the NorthStar and it is installed. We would really like to have a timber mantel installed but it seems the installer is pushing us to use a masonry one. We like the look of the masonry as well, but would really prefer a dark timber. They informed us it would need to be installed higher than the masonry which makes sense.
Just curious, anyone go with a timber mantel and regret it? Gets too hot, etc?
Thanks guys
