Little help... New gas fireplace facing

[jetguy]

Hey guys,

I wish I could have found my answer by searching, but I couldn't find a solution.

I have a new gas fireplace I have installed. I need to install the facing to the framing and the fireplace front. It requires non-combustable material around the fireplace. I purchased some cement board to install, but I'm not sure how to do it. The fireplace manufacturer says that I can screw into the fireplace, but I'm concerned about opening into the heating chamber. I thought mastic / adhesive would be a better solution. Does anyone have advice for this? How about a product name?

Any help appreciated....

just screw it to the galvi face. that has nothing to do with the firepace it self. its complety self contained from the place your going to screw into.

Thanks...

Would you use some adhesive also? Type?

How about screws, do you know what to use to go through cement board and the sheet metal?

Don't bother with the adhesive. Just scew it down it won't go anywhere.
