Wall Linings:
The wall board that lines the outside of this opening can be normal dry wall
(Plaster Board) and does not need to be non-combustible providing that it does not come
any closer to the fire than the dimensions shown in section 2.0.
Note:
The temperature of
the wall lining directly above the fire does get warm and hence may discolour paint
finishes that are susceptible to temperature damage or distort vinyl wall coverings.

Television Positioning Considerations:
It is becoming common practice for consumers to mount fla
t screen TV’s above their gas
fireplace.
Most TV manufacturers have specified in their instructions that the TV should not be
installed on, near or above a heat source. For this reason TV location decisions rest solely
with the householder and Escea will not be held liable for any adverse affects on a TV
located near to an Escea fireplace that may be caused by heat.
The drawings below are suggestions that may be used as a GUIDE for those consumers
who do decide to locate their TV above an ST900 gas fire. These drawings show ways to
reduce the amount of warm air rising off the fireplace and onto the TV.
The material that the wall and mantle are made from will also affect the operating
temperature of the TV so it is the customers responsibility to satisfy themselves that their
TV mounting and mantle design will not exceed the listed maximum operating temperature
of their electronic goods.
