It is best to frame your
fireplace after it is positioned and the
vent system is installed. Use 2x4’s and frame to local build-
ing codes.
Note: In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation
or
vapour barrier coming in contact with the fireplace body,
it is
recommended that the walls of the fireplace enclosure
be
“finished” (ie: drywall/sheetrock), as you would finish any
other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance
to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
It is
not necessary to install a hearth extension, but the fire-
place should be raised to be flush with either the hearth or
the
finished floor.
When roughing in the fireplace, raise the fireplace to accom-
modate for the thickness of the finished floor materials, i.e.
tile, carpeting, hard wood, which if not planned for will interfere
with the removal of the hearth strip, which must be removed
to
access the firebox.
O
bjects placed in front of the fireplace should be kept a mini-
mum of 48” away from the front face.
For convenience, the stand-offs have been shipped flat.
Before framing, ensure the stand-offs are opened and
screwed in place. IMPORTANT:
The Park Ave. requires
a minimum inside enclo-
sure height of 72”.
For temperature require-
ments, this area must be
left unobstructed.
It is recommended that
the enclosure be ventilat-
ed at the top and bottom
to circulate the hot air.
Non-combustible
finishing material
(ie: cement board,
brick, stone, tile)
may be
used to fin-
ish the front of the
unit.
