Facing
The facing installation method depends on your finishing kit choice.
1.
Facing with the louver kit
The 2x3 framing must offset to the back by a distance equivalent to the thickness of your
facing material so the surface of the facing be aligned with the fireplace face.
Combustible materials must be aligned with the fireplace face and can not overlay on the
fireplace front (black steel face of the fireplace) (see figure 12 and 12a).
NOTE: non-combustible materials like brick, stone or ceramic tiles may be overlay on
the fireplace front (see figure 12b).
2.
Facing with the clean face kit.
The 2x3 framing must offset to the back by a distance equivalent to the thickness of the
gypsum.
Combustible materials must be installed to be aligned with the fireplace front and can not
overlay on the fireplace front (black steel face of the fireplace) (see figure 13 and 13a).
Non-combustible materials such as brick, stone or ceramic tile can project in front of and
onto the fireplace facing up to the tiling flange on the clean face kit (figure 13b).
