ABSTRACT:
A surround assembly for a fireplace includes a pair of leg members, a lintel and a hearth member, all separately fabricated from a brick-simulating material which is cast to provide brick-like shapes with recesses therebetween. The recesses are of sufficient depth to receive fasteners, such as bolts, and to accept grout thereover to mask or hide the fasteners and enhance the final appearance of the installed surround. The recesses terminate in a web of the brick-simulating material which rigidly interconnects the brick-like shapes. The various surround components are assembled with layers of grout positioned between the components to permit positional adjustment or shimming of the components in three dimensions to accommodate irregularities in the fireplace opening. A method of installing the surround components in which they are fastened to a support wall, shimmed relative to each other and the wall and grouted also is disclosed.
