Facing Requirements

NOTE: The combustible area above the facing must not protrude more than 3/4" from the facing. If it does, it is considered a mantel and must meet the mantel requirements listed in this manual.

WARNING: Do not use adhesive to secure the cement board or 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 to the cement board.

NOTE: Screws may be used to secure the cement board to the fireplace. Do not penetrate the fireplace more than 3/4”

Facing Over 1" Thick

Architectural faces require a 5/8" gap above the face for face installation.

If the facing material is over 1" thick (e.g. brick, river rock), install the facing around the perimeter of the face. You may wish to make a face template (see the illustration to the right). If using an arch face, you may wish to order the optional set-up face:

Part # 98500692

For rectangular faces, use a piece of plywood cut to the dimensions shown on page 13 (add 1/8" to each dimension).

Artisan faces vary in size. Use the face being installed to create a template.

The brick facing must meet the same requirements listed “Facing Requirements” above.

Note: The brick tucks below the face template.

finished face. Attach the template to the fireplace using the face attachment screws. Then while building the face, use the template to support the face material and ensure the facing does not overlap the face.

7/8”

Note: if using a brick hearth, the fireplace will need to be raised to accommodate the 1” gap betwen the face and the base of the fireplace. For 2-1/2” thick brick this works out to approximately 1-5/8”.
