5. Begin by fitting the insulation board and bricks in the arch “dry” (no cement). This will allow you to cut and fit all
the insulation board and bricks into the arch so the cementing can be done in one continuous application.
NOTE: The use of a wet saw or masonry blade in a circular saw is
recommended to cut the bricks where required.
NOTE: The use of a mini hacksaw is suggested for cutting the
insulation board.
The following sections are the outline for the preparing and sequencing of the fitting of the insulation board and brick
into the arch. Adjustments to shown sizes will be required as the installation proceeds. The rule of “
Measure twice and
cut once ” will reduce waste in fitting the pieces. As you go through each of the following pages, cut, “dry fit” then
cement the parts into place.
When fitting pieces in the arch there will be bolts and rivets where the pieces are being fit. In order to properly fit for
the bolts and rivets either:

Measure the locations on the sheet and cut out the necessary area for clearance of the rivets/bolts
OR

Place the sheet in position and press it against the rivets/bolts in order to mark the rear of the sheet then cut
out the marked area to allow for clearance of the rivets/bolts.
