Wall Types;
Note: The appropriate fixings must be used depending on the wall types the heaters are to be fixed onto.
Solid brick/High density block walls:
Use the rawlplugs and screws provided with the heater. The correct size of drill (5.5mm) should be used and the hole
should be drilled to a depth of 8mm greater than the length of the Rawlplug so that the fixing is made below the plaster
layer.
Low density block walls:
A special fixing, such as Unifix LB70 should be employed, following closely the manufacturers instructions.
Panelled internal walls:
It is preferable to locate the timber studding and use the screws provided. Where it is not possible to locate the
studding use a recommended plasterboard fixing that is capable of withstanding the full weight of the heater.
Note: The wall fixing manufacturer should be consulted to make sure the correct fittings are used for the wall
type.

Visage & Eligance heaters (Excluding Glass) can be mounted with free standing
feet.
The appliance must be located in such way that any potentially combustible
objects or materials do not come in contact with the heater to prevent damage or
