Custom Surrounds
Custom Surrounds are offered in rectangle, arched or other complex shapes and can be ordered for any decorative front that
uses a Basix Surround or a door kit that uses a faceplate surround. Consult with your Mendota Dealer for specific details and
availability.
Examples of Custom Surrounds
(Some shown with decorative fronts)
The examples, above, show that custom surrounds (Basix or Faceplates) can be made in various shapes and sizes depending on
the cosmetic need. Outer edge return depths can also be made to a particular size to meet installation depth needs.
You may request a rendering prior to ordering the custom which can show the decorative front of your choice on top of the
custom surround. You may request a rendering with known dimensions, or you may supply the fireplace opening dimensions and
request, as an example, equal reveal outside a Grace kit or a door kit. Mendota will provide you with a rendered image showing
exact size and shape. This is a value-added service.
For installations where the shape desired is complex, a 1:1 traced Template is recommended to be submitted to Mendota rather
than vague dimensional values. Please note that custom surround which require a 1:1 template will also require some additional
lead time due to the template shipment times.
