ADHESIVE
IMPORTANT: The correct type of adhesive must be used and applied in the correct
manner. Usage of proprietary cements, adhesives, grouts and bedding materials
must conform to the manufacturer's guidelines.
In this instance, for joints between component/component and joints between
component and the surrounding structures, high strength, neutral coloured
limestone or tile cement should be used. Coloured adhesives such as Carlite
bonding should not be used as this will show through the material and cause
permanent staining.
Ensure that all components are cleaned and prepared for the adhesive as
per the manufacturer's instructions.
When joining component to component apply a complete bed of cement,,
do not spot bed.
Do not bond to wallpapered or painted surfaces.
MECHANICAL/BRACKET FIXING
It is essential that the fireplace is installed using the supplied brackets and a
suitable adhesive. Do not rely on adhesive alone to secure this product to the wall.
With the exception of the hearth and back panel, all components feature a
rotating plate on the rear face. Before fitting the each component:
1. Locate the plate on the rear face and slacken the screw by turning anti-
clockwise until the plate is loose enough to be rotated. Then tighten the
screw when the bracket has been correctly orientated as per the diagram
below.
2. Offer up the component to the wall in its intended installation position and
mark the position of the bracket onto the wall.
3. Chase out the wall to accept the brackets so that they will be flush once
fastened – you may need to add some washers as spacers to accomplish
this.
4. Drill and plug the wall with appropriate fixings suitable for the wall type and
secure the component in place (using adhesive also as described above).
Make good any plasterwork to conceal the plates.
