If finishing the wall above the unit with paint,
the framing kit shipped with the unit should
be discarded. Use full sheets of calcium
silicate board or equivalent and full length
metal studs to finish and frame around the
unit.
Calcium silicate board is a high grade material
with cement, quartz and natural minerals
as the main raw materials. (Note: Calcium
Silicate is 1/2” thick)
CAUTION: Calcium Silicate board can be
damaged if dropped or struck. Handle with
care. Inspect board prior to installation and do
not use if cracked.
NOTE: It is recommended to pre-drill
mounting holes in the board prior to securing
to the framing. This will prevent the board
from cracking.
