15. FACING and FINISHING
You’re almost finished!
The Halcyon Gas Fireplace is designed to be enclosed with common building materials; wood, drywall, plaster, etc.
•
Any combustible mantels must be installed within the limits described in Section P4 (MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.)
•
Provided the required clearances are maintained, the walls that enclose the side and rear of the Halcyon Gas Fireplace may be
constructed of combustible material.
The facing within the limits shown in Figure 13, however, must be made of non-combustible
material.
•
The Halcyon was designed to be faced with approved ½” thick, non-combustible facing. This non-combustible facing can be
installed up to the Facing Bead which surrounds the opening into which the glass panel is set.
Figure 34
shows a close-up view
of the Facing Bead over which no material of any kind may be applied.
•
The wall above the Fireplace opening is constantly exposed to elevated temperatures. This must be considered when
choosing any fasteners, paint, mastic, sealant, caulk, etc. for use in this area as materials may change color or emit an odor
when heated. Petroleum-based tile adhesives should be avoided and thin-set mortar used instead.
