Facing Requirements - Lopi 564 GSR2 25K CF Installation Manual

Finalizing the Installation

Facing Requirements


The front of fireplace may be left uncovered (see "a" below).

Drywall (or other combustible) may be placed above, below, and to the sides of the fireplace (not over
the front of the fireplace (see "b" below).

Tile or other non-combustible facing may be placed along the front of the fireplace around the
perimeter of the glass opening (see "c" below). Typical installations use 12" (305mm) or greater of
non-combustible facing around the perimeter of the glass opening. Do not install facing over the
ledge to the glass opening.
WARNING: Do not use adhesive to secure the facing. The high temperatures of the
fireplace may cause adhesives to emit odors. Use mastic or thin set (or other non-
combustible, non-odorous adherent) to attach the facing.
NOTE: Screws may be used to secure cement board or tile backer to the fireplace. Do not
penetrate the fireplace more than 1/2" (13mm).
