Attaching the front wall Board.
1. Dry fit and Mark the fireplace
by Inserting the tabs located on
each end of the Top Brow Mount
into the corresponding cutout in
the side brackets.
• Ensure the top and sides are
flush against the fireplace. The
clearance holes for the rivets
should be over the rivets.
2. While holding the Top Brow
Mount in place, use a pencil to
trace the top edge of the brow
onto the Fireplace’s front panel.
3. Place the brow in a safe place
until after the wall board is in
place.
The front of the Fireplace and Chase can only be covered using non-combustible board.
Cut the opening (as per the board manufacturers guidelines) using the dimensions and the Arch template
provided (Figure 23). Do not place any vertical joints in the wall board above the unit as this may lead to
cracking of the joint compound.
NOTE: the dimensions shown here
are from the bottom of the unit. If
the unit is raised, add the height to
the bottom dimensions.
4. Anchor the boards to the
fireplace and studs following the
board manufacturers guidelines
for drilling holes, screw type and
spacing.
• Make sure you can see the
pencil line for the Brow as this
will mean you have enough
clearance to mount the Top Brow.
