Fireplace Facing

When selecting the finish material for your fireplace, it is important
to remember the following:
If the surround of the fireplace is to be painted to match the room decor,
heat-resistant paint must be provided . Also, decorative facing must
not extend past the fireplace opening at all, because it will interfere
with the access to retainers for removal of glass door and access to
the lower compartment .
