E.
Mortar (Optional)
The brick panels have been designed for installa-
tion without the use of mortar being necessary. If the
look of mortar is preferred, it is available and can be
installed. Follow the directions on the container for mix-
ing.
The mortar can be applied with a mortar bag or trowled
on. Applying with mortar bag may be easiest and less
messy. Clean sparingly as paint will rub off and may
need to be touched up. Touch up paint is available as
an accessory.
VeRy imPoRTanT: allow the mortar 72 hours to cure before operating the fireplace.
Mortar should be applied
after finishing material is
installed. Mortar will be
applied between finishing
materials and molded
brick edges, bottom and
sides.
The seam between
finishing materials and
firebox top must be sealed
with non-combustible
sealant.
