Recommendations for Finishing of Clean View Installations
When finishing the wall around the fireplace, it is critical that the wall covering be fastened properly. It is acceptable to
pre-drill holes and use self-tapping screws which may be used to fasten a backer for tile, marble, etc. Screws being
installed through non-combustible board should be self-tapping type with a maximum length of 2 inches. Wall covering
fasteners, such as screws or nails, are not permitted in some locations.

Do not drill or install longer screws which may penetrate into the lower panel area as this may damage internal
components
.
 Only non-combustible materials may be used over the face of the appliance.
Finishing Recommendations (Obtained from professional construction contractors and finishers):

Frame unit with metal studs (minimum 20 gauge).

Notice: DurockR Brand Cement Board: The manufacturer recommends CGC SheetrockR Brand DurabondR 90
Setting- Type Drywall Compound rather than a ready-mix product for finishing.
 Use fiberglass (mesh) tape for all joints in area of the fireplace.
 Use Yellow joint mud (contains high amounts of glue) – two coats, finishing with one coat of green topping mud, sand
and prep for painting.

If not using a surround, a metal “L” Trim may be used to finish perimeter of DUROCK.
- A full single shee t of non-combustible board (no joints) above the unit is recommended if possible.
-It is preferred to attach the non-combustible board to framing only and not directly to the unit to allow for expansion and
contraction during normal operation.
-Lighter colored painted surfaces may discolor due to heat exposure.
Notice: Granite or other facing materials are not covered by the fireplace warranty. Natural stone and other facing
materials may crack regardless of how they are installed.
