Assembling The Concrete Surround - Contura C 460 Installation Instruction

Assembling the concrete surround

Before starting the assembly work, check to make sure that none of the concrete
components have any hairline cracks that run all the way through. When assembling
the surround, use the cement supplied to bond the sections together. Mix 1 part
water with 2 parts cement. It is important that the various components are
assembled so that the finished construction is straight and true, both horizontally
and vertically. Placing the cement in little heaps rather than spreading it out as a
bed of cement makes it easier to ensure that the construction is horizontal. For the
best adhesion, it is advisable to wet surfaces that are to be joined. The cement bed
should be 1–2 mm thick when the sections have been assembled and any surplus
cement has been pressed out.

The supplied silicone is used to secure the marble
shelves and to attach the concrete sections to the
rear wall. When sealing the joint to the rear wall, only
the paint-over acrylic sealant must be used.
The silicone can also be used to repair any slight
unevenness in the concrete blocks and any minor
damage.
When the fire is lit, the metal in the fire-box
expands, so it is absolutely essential that the
concrete surround does not come into contact with
the stove body. Check that there is a gap of at least
2-3 mm between the stove body and the surround.
