INSTALLATION GUIDE
NOTE: Stone Cast Inc. highly recommends that homeowners hire a qualified and capable
mason to install our fire surrounds. They are heavy and require a special skillset to install.
They are not something the average homeowner can install.
Tools and Supplies Needed
Level, drill, screw gun, angle grinder, caulk gun, stud finder, PL375 adhesive, Polyblend
sanded grout, (Color: Bone) for Antique Swirl and Sand color, (Color: Oyster Grey) for Grey
Swirl.
Before-Installation
Check with your firebox manufacturer for any fire surround guidelines and restrictions.
Uncrate each piece carefully as not to chip the edges and place on a soft surface such as
Styrofoam or moving blanket. Inspect each piece for damage, be sure all pieces are present
and identify each piece by its number prior to installation. Be sure the hearth will not restrict
the firebox access covers or firebox. Please read all six steps prior to beginning the
installation process.
Installation
STEP ONE (HEARTH)
Center the hearth with the firebox making sure to space the hearth ¼ inch from the firebox.
Ensure the hearth is level and the joint spacing between the hearth pieces are ¼ inch by
using the tab and space feature in the hearth pieces. Apply the recommended construction
adhesive PL 375 to the bottom of the hearth. Be sure there are no voids between the
bottom of the hearth and the floor. Allow the hearth construction adhesive to dry for 24
hours before proceeding to the next step.
STEP TWO (LEGS)
Refer to the provided drawing along with the tab and space feature to determine the
location of each leg. Be sure the legs are level and plumb. Use shims as necessary to level
and plumb the legs. For best results be sure to leave ¼ inch between the back of the leg and
the wall. Apply PL375 adhesive to the bottom and back of each leg then secure by screwing
to the wall using the metal wall ties attached to each leg. Keep the adhesive 1 inch away
