WARNING
The 14” (355.8mm) above the appliance opening
must not be fi nished with any combustible materials. If only a painted surface is desired, a full single sheet
of Wonder Board cement board should be used.
Joint Compound where required
Joint compounds such as Durabond 90 and tapes that are resilient to heat and cracking should be used when
taping and mudding seams.
Setting tiles and grouting
If using tiles, we recommend you use tiles with a dry butt joint to be installed using a two-part mortar with an
acrylic latex additive, such as Mapei Kerabond/Kerlastic, to allow for slight movement in the normal operation
of the appliance.
If grout is used between the tiles, a polymer-based grout, such as Mapei Ultracolour plus, is recommended.
Primer/Paint
For a painted surface, use a 100% acrylic latex primer and fi nish coat. Light coloured paints may discolour.
