Minimum Framing Clearances
All framing may be wood 2X4 construction or the like, no steel stud or concrete board required.
Using wood framing is a result of meticulous design and testing practices. We ask that the restrictions be followed in order
for the fireplace to be enjoyed safely.
NOTES:
• Chase may be framed beyond minimum framing for taller ceilings, overhangs etc.
• Chase cannot be open to joists or rafters above.
• The fireplace is not load bearing so the chase must be constructed to fully support finishing materials.
• Minimum intake dimensions must be taken at the fireplace cabinet, not the end of the hearth/plinth.
• Less restricted air flow will always breathe more efficiently maintaining cooler surface temperatures.
The following diagrams are common ways to frame your fireplace. Other forms can also be used as long as mimimum
clearances and air gaps are maintained. Use the diagrams and table on the following page as a baseline to design your
enclosure. Framing illustrations are for example only and are not necessarily meant to be followed exactly.
