Levels of Quality, Sizes, Edges, and Joining Systems. Shaw classifies its floors as Good, Better, Best, and Superior. Most floors fall in the Better or Best categories, with some floors falling into both categories at once (doubling the wear layer thickness bumps a product up to the Best level).
If your shelf projects 1 1/2 inches or less, there must be at least six inches between the top of the fireplace and the mantel. Any parts of the mantel that project more than 1 1/2 inches must be at least 12 inches from the top of the fireplace.
My tv is above the fireplace and I hate it. It's way too high. It's 5 feet 5 inches off of the floor to the bottom of the tv. I'm also 5'5 which makes the bottom of the tv level with the top of my head. The sofa isn't far enough away from it to be able to view the tv without leaning back and I can't move the sofa back any further. The tv is installed on a rock fireplace and I'm about to spend 500 dollars to buy a hidden arm that will lower it when I'm watching it. Plus the bottom of the mantel gets hot when the gas fireplace is on.
