NOTE: If the hearth is to be covered with tiles or some other veneer then the fire must be installed so
that the base of the appliance is level with the finished top surface of the hearth.
B5 Wall Linings
The front mounting flanges of the appliance must be on
top of the finished wall surface in order for the fascia
panels to mount properly. Take into account any plaster
board, tiles, or any other finishing surface that may be
intended for the finished wall surface. Wall finishing
materials must not encroach upon the minimum cavity
clearances given in section 2.2.
The wall board that lines the outside of this opening can
be normal dry wall (plaster board) and does not need to be
non-combustible.
NOTE: The temperature of the wall lining directly above
the heater does get warm and hence may discolour paint
finishes that are susceptible to temperature damage or distort
vinyl wall coverings. For durability of finishes and surfaces
you should contact the relevant manufacturer for their
specification.
The cavity framing and wall facing for a minimum of 300mm directly above the Inset fascia must
be constructed from non-combustible materials.
For more detail on cavity construction, view the “Drawings for Architects” in the technical section
of the Escea website.
B6 Mantle Clearance
Please refer to the diagram to the right. Mantles or protruding ledges mounted above the heater
that are made from combustible materials, must
not extend outside of the dimensions shown.
Except for Inset fascias, maintain a 30mm
clearance around the fascia to ensure ease of
fascia removal.
NOTE: No clearance is needed underneath Inset
Fascias.
