Facing Requirements
Non-combustible facing must extend from the base of the fireplace to the framing header (see illustration below
for details).
Non-combustible facing must extend the entire width of the unit to the framing opening on both sides (see
illustration below for details).
Do not place facing over the glass opening.
WARNING: Do not place drywall or other combustibles over the front of the fireplace.
WARNING: Do not use adhesive to secure the 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.
NOTE: Screws may be used to secure cement board or tile backer to the fireplace. Do not
penetrate the fireplace more than 1/2" (13mm).
1/8" (3mm) Gap
Make sure non-combustible board is cut and positioned so it maintains a 1/8" (3mm) gap from the tile
stop. This allows the fireplace structure to expand without cracking the facing (see dimensions below).
