INSTALLATION OF MARBLE AND LIMESTONE FIREPLACES
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 the quick setting cement
based adhesive is applied to the
whole length of the back of the
jambs and 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
using the stainless bracket provided
and raw plugs provided. Ensure
quick setting cement based
adhesive is applied to the whole
length of the back of the frieze.
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.
