Hearth Requirements

A hearth is not required for this fireplace. If a hearth is installed, it must not extend above the glass
opening (we recommend the hearth be a minimum 1" below the glass opening to allow for glass
installation). The hearth may be combustible or non-combustible.

Facing Requirements


Drywall, tile, or other facing (combustible or non-combustible) may be placed directly on the face of
the fireplace (see "a" below).

Facing may be placed along the perimeter of glass opening, but must not extend over it. This area
must remain open to allow for glass removal and installation.

Fireplace must not be used to support the facing. Heavy facing must be self-supporting.
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).
