Note: The gloves are supplied for the
installers to insure a clean installation.
These help minimize the cleanup required
after the install is complete.
Mix up a small bit of cement by adding a
small amount of water until you get paste-
like consistency. Butter the bottom of the
hearth with a thin bead of the cement
provided,
and
reset
position. Insure that the hearth is level. A
couple of wood shims [not supplied for
this purpose] carefully positioned under
the hearth can help keep it level while the
cement dries. Make sure that any shims
used are removed and the holes touched-
up with cement.
Important!! When applying the mantel pcs into position that have cement on them,
be very careful that you set the pc down into its final position. Avoid moving the pc
around, and spreading the cement beyond it's intended final resting position. If this
does happen, wipe it off immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Use sufficient
sure when doing so to insure that the cloth picks up all of the residue of the grout.
Because of the textured surface, it is very easy for some grout to remain on the sur-
face, which is not visible until after the installer leaves, and it has dried. A soft brush
is very helpful in cleaning the surface to remove this residue completely.
If not completely cleaned, a cloudy haze can show. Once this haze has formed from
the grout drying on an exposed surface, it is very difficult to remove with water.
However, a commercial grout and haze remover, [such as 'Tile Lab'- a product
available from Home Depot] can be used with a soft brush to remove any residue.
The soft brush ensures that the haze is scrubbed off the deep textured surface.

It is very important that sufficient
screws are installed in the brackets and
in the wood to support the whole mantel.
Carefully slide the hearth into position,
centering it on the fireplace (you may
find it easer to do this step if you draw a
very small center line on the top back
edge of the hearth). Put a couple of small
pencil marks on the floor indicating its
final position, then remove the hearth.
