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:

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.
