Position and secure the hearth extension over the protective metal strips that have been placed partially under the fireplace front. These strips should be protruding approximately 2 in. (51 mm) from under the fireplace front and 2 in. (51 mm) on both sides of the fireplace opening. See Figure 10.7.

Seal the crack between the hearth extension and fireplace with a bead of non-combustible sealant. See Figure 10.8. Apply a non-combustible finishing material of your choice to the hearth extension.
