Fix the jambs upright and back to
the brickwork of the chimney
breast using galvanised or
stainless steel wall ties and quick
setting cement based tiling
adhesive bonded to the masonry.
Ensure quick setting cement
adhesive is applied to the
underside of the jambs where
they meet the hearth. The jambs
should be positioned on top of
the hearth, equidistant to the
ends of the hearth and parallel
to the front edge.
Please Note: If using Modern
Steel slips, place these in position
now, as with register grates allow
a 3mm expansion gap between
the jambs and the steel slips.
Put the fireplace frieze in place,
and fix level using quick setting
cement based tiling adhesive
or marble glue. For a register
grate allow a 3mm expansion
gap between the frieze and the
register grate.
When fixing a solid surround the
frieze should also be fixed back
with galvanized or stainless steel
wall ties/brackets.
See the diagram supplied with the
fireplace for individual fixing points.
