Facing Requirements:
Facing Over 1"
Thick
•
If the facing material
is over 1" thick (e.g.
brick, river rock),
install the facing
around the perimeter
of the face. You may
wish to make a facing
support (see the
illustration to the
right). If using an
arch face, you may
wish to order the
optional set-up face:
Arch Set-Up Face
Part # 98500694
NOTE: Artisan faces
vary in size. Use the
face being installed to
create a template.
Make a facing support using
2x4’s. It should be 1/8” larger
than the finished face. NOTE:
The bottom of the face is 1”
above the base of the fireplace.
1”
Note: if using a brick hearth, the fireplace will need to be raised to accommodate the 1” gap betwen the
face and the base of the fireplace. For 2-1/2” thick brick this works out to approximately 1-1/2”.
The brick facing must meet the same requirements
listed in “Facing Requirements” above.
