Section 6: Finishing
Finishing Around the Fireplace
Fireplace Facing
When sizing the finish material for your fireplace, it is important to
remember the following: THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN
ANY WAY - to do so restricts the air supply for the control compartments
and it also prevents access for servicing controls.
