Lexington Hearth Rough Sawn Wall Boards: a barn wood look for your fireplace wall
The Lexington Hearth Rough Sawn Wall Boards are a kit for the wall around your fireplace. Lexington Hearth casts them in its own non combustible mix and paints each board by hand. Bold saw cuts and wood grain carry the mantel’s rough sawn barn wood look across the wall.
They are non combustible, which means the boards themselves will not burn, but your fireplace manual sets what the wall around the firebox needs. One kit is six boards, two each in three widths, each about four feet long, and covers about 12 square feet of wall. They go on like tile, with high temperature thin set mortar or a high heat silicone, not nails. Measure the wall you want to cover, divide by 12, and round up to find how many kits you need. On the page you pick one of three earth tone colors. Custom colors are available on request. It ships 3 to 5 days after you order. Want a mantel to match?

FAQ
What is included in a wall board kit?
Per the page, one kit is six boards covering 12 square feet: two each of 4 in., 6 in., and 8 in. wide boards, each 47.5 in. long, in your chosen color. The mixed widths create the staggered plank look shown in the photos. Each board is individually hand-painted, so expect slight color variation from board to board.
How do you install the wall boards?
Like tile. The page specifies high-temperature thin-set mortar or a high-heat silicone adhesive, not nails or screws, so the boards bond flat to the wall surface around the fireplace. Because the material is a non-combustible casting rather than wood, the same high-temp adhesives used for tile near a firebox apply. Check your fireplace manual and local code for surround requirements.
Are the wall boards non-combustible?
Yes. They are cast in Lexington Hearth’s non-combustible proprietary formulation, the same approach used for the brand’s mantels, so you get the look of rough-sawn barn wood on a fireplace wall without a combustible surface. Confirm your fireplace’s surround clearance requirements in its manual, since those are set by the appliance manufacturer, not by the wall finish.
What colors are available?
Three earth-toned colors: Dapple Grey, Brindle Brown, and Buckskin Tan, chosen on the Color selector. They are made to complement the Lexington Hearth mantel colors, so you can pair a wall board wall with any profile in the Lexington Hearth non-combustible mantel collection. Custom colors are available on request.
How many kits do I need?
Each kit covers 12 square feet, so measure the wall area you want to clad (height times width, minus the firebox opening) and divide by 12, rounding up. Ordering a little extra for cuts and pattern matching is sensible, because each board is hand-painted and kits ordered later may vary slightly in color.
How long until they ship?
The page lists a turnaround time of 3 to 5 days after the order is placed, and shipping is free within the continental United States. If you are pairing the wall boards with a mantel, order them together so the colors can be checked against each other when they arrive.
