Installing the Morsø 5660 Fireplace Insert Zero Clearance Enclosure
CUSTOMIZING THE FINISHED APPEARANCE
The facing of the Fireplace Insert Zero Clearance Enclosure may be finished to give a variety of dif-
ferent aesthetic appearances. However, only non-combustible materials may be applied to the face
inside the specified limits for combustible materials. See FIG. 6 on page 8. Outside the combustible
limits, the any surface finish may be used.
For a smooth wall appearance, non-combustible tile backer board may be used as a base for plaster
allowing a seamless transition beyond the combustible limits to traditional wallboard.
For tile, veneer brick or stone, the finish material may be applied over non-combustible tile backer
board. The requirements for the facing material applied inside the combustible limits are:
The material must be non-combustible.
•
The total thickness, including non-combustible backer board and adhesive should not exceed
•
13/16" (20mm).
Facing materials should not encroach into the front opening in the enclosure in order to allow
•
proper insertion of the Insert .
Combustible trim at the transition to combustible facing material must not protrude into the room
•
more than ¾" (19mm) from the facing material.
