IMPORTANT: This installation guide is to ensure that the fireplace is fitted safely and

securely. Please ensure that you read through all instructions within carefully and

retain for future reference. This product is heavy: improper installation may result in

serious injury and damage to the fireplace or property.

Rev. A June 2016

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully before beginning installation.

It is essential that fireplaces are fitted by an experienced installer using the

supplied brackets and a suitable adhesive. Do not rely on adhesive alone to

secure this product to the wall.

This product is not suitable for DIY installation.

Any gas appliance fitted with this fireplace must be installed by a registered

Gas Safe engineer.

This fireplace must be installed in a suitable environment against a solid wall

or structure, never against a non-structural wall such as a lightweight metal

stud wall or moveable partitions etc.

Ensure that the wall and floor have sufficient load bearing capabilities.

Never sit, stand, lean or climb on the fireplace. Children must never be

allowed to play on the fireplace and should be discouraged from playing

near it.

Do not place heavy loads on the fireplace shelf.

HANDLING AND UNPACKING

WARNING: Natural stone fireplaces are heavy and should not be lifted alone. If

necessary, seek assistance when moving any of the components.

Ensure that correct safety attire is worn.

Ensure that the packaging is the right way up before opening.

Never use a blade to remove packaging from components.

Check that the installation area is clear and free of debris.

Lay components onto carpet or other soft floor covering.

Care should be taken when lifting components that may be ‘nested’ within

the packaging. This usually applies to fireplace leg assemblies.

Ensure that all parts are present and are free from damage.

Do not dispose of packaging until the installation is complete.

SECURING THE FIREPLACE

ADHESIVE

IMPORTANT: The correct type of adhesive must be used and applied in the correct

manner. Usage of proprietary cements, adhesives, grouts and bedding materials

must conform to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

In this instance, for joints between component/component and joints between

component and the surrounding structures, high strength, neutral coloured

limestone or tile cement should be used. Coloured adhesives such as Carlite

bonding should not be used as this will show through the material and cause

permanent staining.

Ensure that all components are cleaned and prepared for the adhesive as

per the manufacturer’s instructions.

When joining component to component apply a complete bed of cement,,

do not spot bed.

Do not bond to wallpapered or painted surfaces.

MECHANICAL/BRACKET FIXING

It is essential that the fireplace is installed using the supplied brackets and a

suitable adhesive. Do not rely on adhesive alone to secure this product to the wall.

With the exception of the hearth and back panel, all components feature a

rotating plate on the rear face. Before fitting the each component:

1. Locate the plate on the rear face and slacken the screw by turning anti-

clockwise until the plate is loose enough to be rotated. Then tighten the

screw when the bracket has been correctly orientated as per the diagram

below.

2. Offer up the component to the wall in its intended installation position and

mark the position of the bracket onto the wall.

3. Chase out the wall to accept the brackets so that they will be flush once

fastened –you may need to add some washers as spacers to accomplish

this.

4. Drill and plug the wall with appropriate fixings suitable for the wall type and

secure the component in place (using adhesive also as described above).

Make good any plasterwork to conceal the plates.

INSTALLATION

GAS FIRE INSTALLATION

There are 2 options of installation type.

Option 1 - When installing without a decorative fire frame, prior to fitting this natural

stone fireplace, the gas appliance associated with it must first be installed by a

fully qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. The gas appliance must be fully

sealed to the fireplace opening before fitting the limestone fireplace.

Option 2 - When installing with a decorative fire frame, the limestone back panel

must be fitted first and fully sealed to the fireplace opening. The gas appliance

must then seal against the back panel.

For more information on the installation of the gas appliance please refer to the

relevant installation documentation that came with the appliance.

When fitting the fireplace with a four piece back panel the gas appliance is raised

from the hearth level. It is essential that the gas appliance is installed and sealed

in the correct position of the wall in relation to the fireplace opening created by

the four-piece back panel and hearth. The diagram and table below indicates

the finished opening for each fireplace.

When fitting the fireplace with a three piece back panel the gas appliance should

be installed at hearth level.

Note that natural materials such as Portuguese limestone can have slight

variances in thickness. Please measure components to ensure that they

correspond to the measurements given above. If necessary make any relevant

adjustments.

INSTALLATION

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

The following installation instructions apply to several different product types.

Please identify your fireplace type on page 3 before proceeding. It is recommend

to perform a mock-installation first to familiarise yourself with the process.

Note: the images used below are for illustrative purposes only and may differ from

actual products. Also, illustrations show the fitting of a four piece back panel,

however the same instructions apply when fitting a three piece back panel.

STEP 1 –FIREPLACE TYPE A, B & C

Bed the hearth ensuring that

it is central to the fire, level and

secure. Use a mix of washed sand and

white cement to avoid any unwanted

colour absorption through the hearth.

Alternatively, use a polythene membrane

to prevent this. Refer to building regulations

when fitting the hearth and back

panel.

STEP 2 –FIREPLACE TYPE A, B & C

Ensuring that the gas fire has been

installed in the correct position, fix

the three or four piece back panel

to the wall. Each piece should be

fitted around the fire using adhesive

only.

INSTALLATION

STEP 3 –FIREPLACE TYPE C

Using adhesive and mechanical

fixings, secure the footer in place,

ensuring a good bond between all

components.

STEP 4 –FIREPLACE TYPE A, B & C

Using adhesive and mechanical fixings, secure the left and right legs in place,

ensuring a good bond between all components.

INSTALLATION

STEP 5 –FIREPLACE TYPE A, B & C

Using adhesive and mechanical fixings, secure the header in place, ensuring a

good bond between all components. For fireplace type A, installation is now

complete.

STEP 6 –FIREPLACE TYPE B & C

Using adhesive and mechanical fixings, secure the shelf in place, ensuring a good

bond between all components. For fireplace types B & C, installation is now

complete.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CARING OR YOUR FIREPLACE

These beautiful materials, naturally formed over millions of years, have very

individual features and characteristics encapsulated within them. From inside the

raging furnaces of a cooling world there are the flowing swirls & veins of the molten

rocks and from the crashing shores of oceans of long ago, there are the shells &

fossils nestled among the silt and shingle of ebbing tides.

Your fireplace should be protected from staining. In the event of an accident,

soak up any spillages immediately. Where staining has occurred, use a specialist

stone cleaning and resealing kit, following the instructions given by the

manufacturer.

Before cleaning, turn off the fire and allow to cool beforehand. Dust down

regularly with a soft, clean brush and occasionally wipe over with a damp cloth.
