Facing Requirements – Flush Install
The included fiber board is required and must remain attached to the fireplace (see "a" below).
Drywall (or other combustible) may be placed above the fiber board (see "b" below) and to the sides and
below the face of the fireplace. Secure the drywall to the vertical drywall supports. Do not place drywall
over the front of the fireplace.
Marble, tileboard or other non-combustible facing may be placed along the front of the fireplace around the
perimeter of the glass opening (see "c" below). 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).
When securing the non-combustible board, screw it to the
fiber board above the fireplace, the framing, and the area
below the fireplace (except in the do not drill zone).
Install a sheet of drywall to the vertical
drywall support. This acts as a spacer for the
non-combustible board.
Fiber Board
(pre-attached to the fireplace)
Do not screw into the area
directly above the glass (shown
in stripes). This prevents the
hot fireplace from expanding
and cracking the facing.

Make sure non-combustible board
is cut and positioned so it maintains
a 1/8" (3mm) gap from the glass
opening. This allows the fireplace
structure to expand without cracking
the facing (see dimensions below).

Make sure the seams on the non-
combustible board is to the sides or
below the glass opening (do not
place seams on corners of glass,
especially the upper corners).
