You will need to construct a platform in the framing for the fireplace to sit on.
To determine how high to build the platform you must determine the how
high you would like the bottom edge of your glass viewing area to be. The
bottom edge of the glass sits 15 1/8" above the top of the platform. Please
note: The top of the platform may not exceed 24" in a room with 8' ceilings.
