FRAMING AND FINISHING
IMPORTANT FINISHING DETAIL NOTE: Before
placing unit into final position - it is important to
know the total thickness / height of finished hearth
(tile, carpet, etc.). The base of the fireplace should
be level or higher than the finished hearth height.
1) Determine the total thickness of facing material
(e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to allow the
finished surface to be flush with the front of
the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from
1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
Install Side Nailing Strips, and Top Facing
Support before unit is slipped into position.
See "Unit Assembly Prior to Installation"
Section
2) Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing
material - see next page for dimensions.

*** NOTE: The Vignette finishing trim can be
installed as a 3-sided or 4 sided finish trim. If
choosing to use this as a 4 sided finish trim the
framing would need to be increased in height by
1-1/4" inches minimum in order for this to fit.
This must be to the finished floor. (Example: 34
3/4" framing height + 1-1/4" to bottom of 4-sided
finishing trim +1/2 thick finished floor = 36 1/2"
total framing height)
NOTE: If this is an outside corner, the minimum
distance between the vent and the outside corner
is 6" (15cm) with AstroCap termination cap or
12" (30cm) with Rigid Vent termination cap. (For
example Dura-Vent).

3) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to
the same degree as the rest of the house,
apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local
installation codes. (Do not insulate the
fireplace itself.)
4) The top of the unit must not be closer than
30" (762mm) to the ceiling.
5) Combustible material may be brought up to
the top and sides of the unit and be covered
with ceramic tiles, bricks, rock or other suitable
non-combustible finishing materials.
Note: The unit does not have to be completely
enclosed in a chase. The clearance on
top of the unit is 0" to the standoffs so
combustible building materials can be
laid directly on top of the standoffs.
You must maintain clearance from
the vent to combustible materials
for flex or for Rigid Vent (Refer to
"Clearances" Section).
