trim can be combustible as long as the hearth extends at least 12” (305 mm) in front of the replace
and 1” (25 mm) on either side of the replace opening. To install the face, it is necessary for the
bottom ange of the replace opening to overlap or be ush with the tile. If the total thickness of the
protector pad, cement board, and nished tile is more than 1” (25 mm) the replace must be raised to
accommodate additional thickness. NOTE: The Manor (the cast iron) face does NOT require any
oor protection even when installed at oor level.
FIREPLACE SURROUND:
NOTE: Any paint that is applied to the mantel or facing above the unit should be “heat resistance” or it
may discolour.
CEMENT BOARD: The cement board can be fastened to the front of the unit with self-drilling metal
screws. It is safe to screw to the outer border of the replace. Cement board for the hearth can be
purchased at a local building material store. The board must have a k-value of 7.69 (metric version: 13
W/m × K) and a R-value of 0.13 (metric version: 0.023 m² × K/W) or better.
TILED FINISH: Because of the amount of heat exuded by the replace, drywall cannot come directly
up to the replace. Figure 16 shows the minimum dimensions for the cement board. Tile or other non-
combustible materials cover the cement board, but do not overlap into the replace opening. The total
depth of the cement board and the nishing materials should be a minimum of 1” (25 mm) to maximum
of 1” (35 cm). The replace front will be installed over top of the nishing material.
SMOOTH FINISH: The replace will have to be
recessed by ” (12 mm) and two (2) layers of
cement board must be used if the area around the
replace will be nished ush with the rest of the
wall.
ROCK OR BRICK FINISH: If the face of the
replace is to be recessed, the face option
chosen will determine the size and shape of the
surrounding material (i.e. brickwork). Since the
dimensions provided on the face option instruction
sheet are only approximations it is recommended
that the steel template of the chosen face is used.
See PARTS LIST - OPTIONS for the face template part
number.

If the unit is raised less than
3” (76mm) it is mandatory to
have a hearth installed with
a protector pad (sheet metal)
placed directly on the oor or
hearth framing, with the cement
board (see specs below) on
top of it. Tile, or another non-
combustible material forms
the top layer of the hearth. A
decorative trim may be added
to the edge of the hearth. The
