Heat-N-Glo just put practicality and affordability back into custom insert

surrounds. No more three week lead times from local sheet metal fabricators.

No more covering up the beauty of natural stone or marble.

Heat-N-Glo’s patent pending Cutting Edge™ surround is constructed from our

Firebrick™ material, creating the look of a natural stone surround, while maintaining the beauty of an existing

masonary fireplace.

Perhaps the most precious feature is the ability to easily cut this surround with

everyday tools that allow for a custom or inside fit surround to show the real

beauty of the fireplace. This makes the installation of a gas insert a breeze.

Step-By-Step Installation Instructions:

1. After verifying the proper size of the

insert and surround, use the supplied

template to trace the fireplace opening.

FBG-4832-EDGE - 48” W x 32” H

surround for FB-Grand. New minimum firebox

size of 37” W x 27 1/2” H. To maintain its stability the

surround should not be trimmed less than 37"W x 28"H

FBIN-4432-EDGE - 44” W x 32” H.

surround for FB-IN. New minimum firebox

size of 32 1/4’ W x 24 1/2 H. To maintain its stability the

surround should not be trimmed less than 32 1/2"W x 24 1/2"H.

6. Install the surround

on to the insert and

attach your decorative

front to complete

the installation.The Cutting Edge surround

untrimmed gives a natural

transition between the insert

and your brick or stone fireplace.

5. Use an oil based stain or high

temperature primer and paint to finish the

surround to match the existing fireplace.

Required Tools: Safety glasses, gloves, face mask,

supplied template, pencil, tape, jig saw, skill saw or

hand saw, file and/or sanding block, stain or high

temp primer and paint. Please refer to the installa-

tion instructions provided with the surround for

more instructions.

4. Keep the template on the surround to

give you a very visible line to follow.

Using a skill saw or hand pull saw,

carefully cut straight edges in a well

ventilated area. A jig saw may be used for

an arch or radius. Use a sanding block to

sand away edges to match your pencil

line, and to smooth all rough edges.

3. Once you have created a final template,

carefully align the inside opening of the

template to the inside opening of the front

face of the surround. Trace around the

template using a pencil.

2. Cut the template and fit the finished

template into the fireplace opening to

verify a proper fit. Slight modification of

the template might be needed at this point.
