Applying Decorative Trim To The Fireplace
The face of your fireplace may be left exposed or trimmed with any noncombustible material such
as brick, stone or marble. If a trim is installed, be sure it is fastened snugly to the face of the fire-
place. A crack between the material and the face of the fireplace could pose a fire hazard and im-
pair the proper operation of the fireplace. Blocking the fireplace with framing and attaching the base
to the supporting floor will further reduce the possibility of such a crack developing.
Wall ties should be fastened to the face of the fireplace with sheet metal screws and placed in the
mortar joints of masonry trim.
Combustible material must not be installed below the top spacers of the fireplace or overlap the
sides of the fireplace face. Seal the face of the fireplace to the surrounding wall with non-combus-
tible caulk or trim materials to prevent cold air leakage around the fireplace.
