Framing & Finishing
Important:
Determine the nailing strip position by determining the facing material being used.
Examples:
1/2" non-combustible wall board for clean finish = 2-3/4" adjustment.
1/2" non-combustible wall board + 1/2" tile = 1" of finished material
= 2-1/4" adjustment.
Note:
Depending on the material used for finishing, the nailing strips must be set ac-
cordingly so that the finished material is always at the 3-1/4" edge of the flange.
IMPORTANT
Regency Fireplace Products are designed, produced, tested and certified to the highest industry standards.
The finishing of the walls surrounding your Regency Horizon Fireplace is as critical as the installation itself.
The temperatures around linear gas fireplaces are typically higher than would be acceptable for combustible materials. Your Regency Horizon
Fireplace is no exception to this rule. Therefore, the units are specified with non-combustible required materials to specific dimensions above
and around the units. This is due to these areas reaching higher temperature levels than required/acceptable for a combustible material. To
obtain the best, most durable finish around your fireplace, this calls for a high level of care and attention to the preparation and finish around
this appliance, using only the highest quality materials, able to withstand the temperatures produced.
By following the installation instructions in the manual exactly, you will increase your chances of a damage free finish.
While every precaution is taken in providing the recommendations on preparation and finish, given the variations in paint quality, with
temperature limits and workmanship in application, Regency is unable to guarantee the life of the joint compounds, paint or any other finish
materials or workmanship applied to or used in any application surrounding the fireplace. This includes framing as well as finishing.
Over time natural convection from any fireplace can cause discoloration in the area directly above the appliance. Lower quality paints,
under-prepared finishes, poor applications, and any framing discrepancies or in the installation can cause this discoloration process to be
expedited.
Discoloration is not the responsibility of Regency Fireplace Products. This is out of the control of Regency Fireplace Products Ltd., therefore
not covered under any part of the warranty policy.
While discoloration is not the responsibility of Regency Fireplace Products, we believe careful attention to the recommendations provided
here will result in an aesthetically pleasing result free of issues outlined above.
