Install the Floating Mantel

What happens here

The final step is to install the completed floating fireplace mantel onto the fireplace wall. While the video only shows the mantel already in place, the internal spacers prepared in Step 5 suggest a French cleat mounting system was used. This system involves attaching one cleat to the wall and the other to the mantel, allowing the mantel to securely interlock and 'float' without visible supports. Ensure the wall cleat is securely fastened into wall studs for stability, and the mantel is level.
