Step 2. Framing the Fireplace
Fireplace framing can be built before or after the fireplace is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accommo-
date wall coverings and fireplace facing material. The dia-
gram below shows framing reference dimensions.
Framing should be constructed of 2 X 4
lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
rest on the fireplace stand-offs.
