FIREPLACE SURROUND:
If a hearth is to be installed, the protector pad (sheet metal) is placed directly on the oor or hearth framing, with
the cement board on top of it. Tile, or another non-combustible material forms the top layer of the hearth. A
decorative trim may be added to the edge of the hearth. The trim can be combustible as long as the hearth extends
at least 12in (30cm) in front of the replace and 1in (2.5cm) on either side of the replace opening. To install
the face, it is necessary for the bottom ange of the replace opening to overlap or be ush with the tile. If the
total thickness of the protector pad, cement board, and nished tile is more than 1” (2.5cm) the replace must
be raised to accommodate additional thickness. Cement board for the hearth can be purchased at a local building
material store, the board must have a k-value of 7.69 Btu/(ft

board and the nishing materials should be a minimum
of 1in (2.5cm) to maximum of 1 in (3.5cm). The
replace front will be installed over top of the nishing
material.
SMOOTH FINISH: The replace will have to be
recessed by in (1.3cm) and 2 layer of cement board
must be used if the area around the replace will be
nished ush with the rest of the wall.
ROCK OR BRICK FINISH: If the face of the
replace is to be recessed, the face option chosen
will determine the size and shape of the surrounding
material (i.e. brickwork). Since the dimensions
provided on the face option instruction sheet are
only approximations it is recommened that the steel
template of the chosen face is used. See Parts List for
the face template part number.

NOTE: Any paint that is applied to the mantel or facing above the unit should be “heat resistance” or it may discolour.
TILED FINISH: Because of the amount of heat exuded by the replace, drywall cannot come directly up to
the replace. Figure 12 shows the minimum dimensions for the cement board. Tile or other non-combustible
materials cover the cement board, but do not overlap into the replace opening. The total depth of the cement
