Facing Requirements
Non-combustible facing must extend from the base of the fireplace to 35-1/2” above the base of the fireplace (see
illustration below for details).
Non-combustible facing must extend the entire width of the unit to the framing opening on both sides.
Do not place facing over the glass opening.
Drywall (or other combustible) may be placed above the non-combustible facing (35-1/2” above the base of the
fireplace). See illustration below for details.
WARNING
:
Do not place drywall or other combustibles over the front of the fireplace.
WARNING
: Do not use adhesive to secure the facing. The high temperatures of the
fireplace may cause adhesives to emit odors. Use mastic or thin set (or other non-
combustible, non-odorous adherent) to attach the facing.
NOTE
: Screws may be used to secure cement board or tile backer to the fireplace. Do not
penetrate the fireplace more than 1/2” (13mm).

Framing Header
Make sure non-combustible board is cut and positioned so it maintains a 1/8" (3mm) gap from the tile
stop. This allows the fireplace structure to expand without cracking the facing (see dimensions below).
