    Required Accessory:

    Regular or Large Faceplate

    The Faceplate is the component that flashes around the fireplace insert and covers the fireplace. The Faceplate is available in two sizes: 29" x 44" and 32" x 50". The size you choose should be based on the opening of your existing fireplace. Choose the 29" x 44" Faceplate size if the opening of your fireplace is less than 29" x 44". If your fireplace opening is greater than 29" x 44", you will want to select the 32" x 50" Faceplate size.

    Cuttable Faceplate (18 gauge) 32 in. x 50 in.

    If you have a nice arched fireplace and would like the Faceplate to conform to the shape to show the nice field stone keystone, then the Cuttable Faceplate is for you. Simply trace the shape onto the Faceplate and use metal cutting snips to cut the Faceplate to size and shape. Making a template is generally the easiest way to transfer the shape. The Cuttable Faceplate does not require a Faceplate Trim Kit.
