W A R N I N G :
Faces that attach with latch-hooks
(Avalon Rosario, Avalon Cambridge,
Avalon Salish Bay, Avalon Rawhide,
Lopi Discovery, Lopi Heritage Bay, FPX
Architectural Faces (all styles),
require a 5/8” gap above the
f a c e
for face installation and removal.
• If the facing material is over 1" thick
(e.g. brick, river rock), install the facing
around the perimeter of the face. You
may wish to make a facing support (see
the illustration to the right). If using an
arch face, you may wish to order the
optional set-up face:
34 Arch Set-Up Face is available from
Travis Industries (Part # 98500694)
• Artisan faces vary in size. Use the face
being installed to create a template.
Rectangular Faces
Make a facing support using 2x4’s. It
should be 1/8” larger than the finished
face. NOTE: The bottom of the face is
1” above the base of the fireplace.
1”
Note: if using a brick hearth, the fireplace will need to be raised to accommodate the 1” gap betwen the
face and the base of the fireplace. For 2-1/2” thick brick this works out to approximately 1-1/2”.
The brick facing must meet the same requirements
listed in “Facing Requirements”

Dimensions" on page 13) width and divide by 2.
TOP OVERLAP: To calculate the top overlap,
subtract 25-3/8 from the face height (see "Face
Dimensions" on page 13) - for arched faces, see
the "Dimensions" on page 6 for other details.
