Flush Wall Fire Brick Finish Detail
Recommended Fire Brick Detail: When drywall is the wall finish at the MAGNUM face and flush with the rough face of the
MAGNUM firebox and damper beam, it is recommended when installing the required fire brick lining to the interior of the firebox,
that the leading edge of the fire brick - at the floor and at the side walls of the firebox - be set flush with the MAGNUM’s rough
firebox front. This will aid in the overall fit and finish of the MAGNUM fireplace front when the code required noncombustible
finished facings are applied.
This alignment of fire brick application, as shown above (Figure 76), allows the fire brick lining to be in the same plane with the
room’s wall finish surface. With the fire brick set in this fashion the noncombustible finish facing material can be set tight against
the leading edge (or, “room edge”) of the fire brick at the sides of the fireplace opening. At the same time the finished facing material
can lay flat against the room’s finished wall surface.
