FRAMING AND
FINISHING
1) Determine the total thickness of facing
material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to
allow the finished surface to be flush with
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness
can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm)
thick.
Install Side Nailing Strips, Top Facing
Support, and Top Standoffs before
unit is slipped into position. See "Unit
Assembly Prior to Installation" section
for assembly details.
NOTE:
When using the Premium Flush Front
option, a finishing trim (962mm cover)
needs to be installed to cover the
spacers.
Maintain a physical gap between lining
and spacers 2-5mm. (5mm clearance to
framing each side).

3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per
local installation codes. (Do not insulate
the fireplace itself.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
32" (813mm) to the ceiling.

5) Use steel studs for framing where the

combustible material cannot be maintained,
e.g. front top header.
Premium Flush Front Framing
Do not use combustible material as lining (eg.
timber) around the fireplace as shown in the
