FACING AND FINISHING
5.2 Facing Requirements
WARNING: Maintain all minimum clearances to combustibles
from the appliance and vent system.
• Non-combustible material is required at the top and sides of
the fireplace.
• This fireplace is designed to accommodate non-combustible
facing material up to ½ in (13mm) thick.
• Install facing material up to the finishing edge that surrounds
the glass frame assembly. Do not apply any material beyond
this point. The glass frame assembly must be removable.
• Do not secure material to the lower cover panel using
screws. This may damage control system components.
To secure material in this zone, use a silicone sealant that
has a 300°F (149°C) continuous exposure rating.
• It is acceptable to pre-drill holes and to use self-tapping
screws to attach non-combustible material to the top and
sides of the fireplace face. Do not use excessively long
screws.
