12. Install Non-Combustible Board (See Figure 47)
•
Do not attach non-combustible board to the fireplace. Attach
non-combustible board only to side studs, standoffs and
header board.
•
Predrill holes into non-combustible board and counter-sink.
•
For best results treat non-combustible board and area
7/8"
around the board with Kilz prior to applying adhesive or
sealing compound.
•
Apply adhesive in joints between non-combustible board
panels.
•
Use only high-temperature adhesive and high-temperature
paints rated for minimum 300
board.
13. Finish Wall
•
Use woven fiberglass joint tape and Durabond 45 joint
compound for best results when finishing non-combustible
panel and drywall joints around fireplace.
•
Tile or noncombustible materials can be applied on top of the
non-combustible board and finished wall as their instructions
require.
The wall above the fireplace will become hot. Install the non-
combustible board supplied with the fireplace before adding
paint, tile or stone. Attach tile or other non-combustible products
to the fireplace face and to the non-combustible area using
adhesives designed for high-temperature applications. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions for application and curing times.
Heat from the fireplace may cause incorrectly installed materials
to fail. If you are painting above the fireplace, use a coating
designed for high temperature environments and follow the
manufacturer's instructions for surface preparation, application
and curing. Heat from the fireplace may cause incorrectly
applied coatings to fail or discolor.
Failure to use a 300°F minimum adhesive may allow the
finishing material to fall.
