Block-In Drying Time
¥
The block-in must dry for one month before using the fireplace. This will prevent the block-in from
cracking due to the heat generated from the fireplace.
Special Precautions
¥
In some states the block-in may require special construction to meet earthquake requirements. This
may include having to mortar the block-in to expanded metal and/or a tied down block-in
construction. Check with your local building department for requirements in your area.
Facing
¥
The facing must be made of a non-combustible material such as stone, brick, marble or tile. For thin
facing such as marble or tile 1/2" cement fiber board (see illustration above) must be used as a
backing to attach the facing material.
¥
Non-combustible facing must extend 4 1/2" from each side of the fireplace
