This Section Covers Installations Into False Chimney Breasts and their Construction, however you may also be
either opting for a Trimless Wall Mounted Installation or creating the Trimless effect using a Fire Surround Back
Panel requiring the appropriate Edging Kit.
It is Important that you read the whole Section before proceeding with any Building Work.
17.1 - WALL COVERINGS
All Wall Coverings or Combustible Cladding Must be removed from the wall where the False Chimney Breast will be sited.
With any form of heating appliance convection air will rise up past the fire carrying particles of dust that will in time result in
varying degrees of wall staining. The fire provides an high heat output so we recommend that any wall coverings are best cut back to
within 10mm of the flanges of the fire to reduce the transmitting of temperature through the flanges of the fire.
The Trim will then cover both the Fires flanges and the cut back area of the wall covering.
Over time some staining might occur and we therefore suggest due consideration is taken when considering the use of patterned
paper around the fire.
Due to the heat output of The Icona 600H.E. it is not recommended to use blown vinyl wall covering around the fire.
17.2 - CLEARANCES TO SHELVES & COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
a. A 150mm non combustible or combustible shelf can be fitted above the fire but must be positioned at least 150mm above the
builders opening for Harmony, Deluxe and Concept Trim Styles (see Section 8) and at least 180mm for Grande Style Trim.
For deeper shelves they must be raised a further 25mm for every extra 25mm of depth.
b. Any combustible sidewall must be at least 275mm from the inside of the Builders/Fireplace Opening.
c. With all heating appliances, soft furnishings, decorations and wall coverings may discolour or scorch if placed too close.
d. No combustible material, e.g. curtains must be closer than 500mm to the Builders Opening.
Note : If a shelf is placed to close to the trim or opening it may have an adverse effect on the Trim Finish.

FALSE CHIMNEY BREAST ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION
REFERENCE SHOULD BE MADE TO THE DIAGRAMS
FALSE CHIMNEY BREAST ENCLOSURE
Very Important : The False Chimney Breast Studding Structure should be constructed to surround the Enclosure Opening
but the plaster board Must be left off to allow for connection of the Flue System.
a.
All Wall Coverings or Combustible Cladding Must be removed from the wall where the False Chimney Breast will be sited.
b. It is recommended that a qualified person constructs the building enclosure.
c. The Building Enclosure should be constructed with Studding and Must be lined with 12mm thick Non Combustible board,
e.g. Superlux Board or equivalent as shown in the diagram and as detailed below:
. The 12mm thick Non Combustible lining must extend to a height of 500mm from the Base of the Opening at back and front.
. The 12mm thick Non Combustible lining must extend down below the base of the opening at the back by 100mm.
. The Supporting Base at the front Must be lined with 12mm thick Non Combustible Board both on top where the fire will sit and
on the inner face.
. The Sides of the Enclosure Must also be lined with 12mm thick Non Combustible material.
d. The diagram show the sizes of the Building Enclosure and Enclosure Opening.
e. No Combustible materials must be present in the Enclosure.
f. First determine the preferred bottom position of the Enclosure Opening, we recommend 500mm but the minimum is 250mm,
however for the minimum height the Enclosure base, sides, back and front must be fully lined down to the base.
g. Any Fire Surround design should take account of the preferred height position of the Fire and this will affect the position of the
Enclosure Base, also see ’ l ’ .
