Facing Requirements

NOTE: The combustible area above the facing must not protrude more than 3/4" from the facing. If it

does, it is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel requirements listed in this manual.

Adhesive

WARNING

: Do not use adhesive to secure the cement board or facing. The high

temperatures of the fireplace may cause adhesives to emit odors. Use mastic or thin set (or
other non-combustible, non-odorous adherent) to attach the facing to the cement board.

NOTE: Screws may be used to secure the cement board to the fireplace. Do not penetrate
the fireplace more than 3/4”

Non-combustible Facing

The fireplace requires a concrete board (or
other non-combustible) extending from the

Facing Over 1" Thick

•

Architectural faces require a
5/8" gap above the face for
face installation.

•

If the facing material is over 1"
thick (e.g. brick, river rock),
install the facing around the
perimeter of the face. You
may wish to make a face
template (see the illustration
to the right). If using an arch
face, you may wish to order
the optional set-up face:

Arch Set-Up Face

Part # 98500692

•

For rectangular faces, use a
piece of plywood cut to the
dimensions shown on page
13 (add 1/8" to each
dimension).

•

Artisan faces vary in size. Use
the face being installed to
create a template.

AAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The face template should be 1/8” larger than the

finished face. Attach the template to the fireplace using

the face attachment screws. Then while building the

face, use the template to support the face material and

ensure the facing does not overlap the face.

Face Template

7/8”

Note: if using a brick hearth, the fireplace will need to be raised to accommodate the 1” gap betwen the

face and the base of the fireplace. For 2-1/2” thick brick this works out to approximately 1-5/8”.

Note: The brick tucks

below the face template.

AAAAAAAAAAAA

The brick facing must meet the same requirements

listed “Facing Requirements” above.
