Limestone products, once installed and dry should be cleaned and sealed using Lithofin Power-Clean and Stain-Stop, or similar. Some limestone products are delivered pre-sealed in order to minimise any marks created during fitting. Your installer should carry out the initial sealing where applicable. Further sealing should not be necessary.
The stone mantels pictured are manufactured from 100% natural material. As such the mantel you will purchase will be unique due to the very slight variations in fossil formation, veining and colour. This is one of the great attractions of 100% pure natural products.
Please be aware that small fossils and variations in the limestone are part and parcel of this wonderful natural product.

Marble products may have small amounts of colour-matched filler to give the impression of a continuous surface. The nature of marble is such that when it is formed in the earth, some small cracks are created too.

The marble that is selected for the mantels shown in this brochure has been chosen to provide affordable quality, thus some minor cracks have been permitted. To achieve a perfect piece of marble with no imperfections at all means a huge amount of wastage.

This has two principal effects, the product becomes prohibitively expensive and the natural resources are depleted too quickly - a much more harmful approach to the world's environment.

All the cast iron products are delivered with a protective, oil-based coating on polished surfaces. This should be cleaned off during installation. It is recommended that a spray-type oil is applied from time to time in order to avoid surface rust appearing. Ensure that the room in which the cast iron product is being installed is thoroughly dry.

For example recently plastered walls cause high levels of moisture in the atmosphere and, as a result, rust is almost inevitable Under no circumstances should a water-based cleaner or polish be used to clean cast iron products.

Firebaskets are more prone to moisture from your chimney dropping onto their exposed surfaces. This is likely to cause corrosion, even to plated cast iron products. To minimise this it is recommended to have your chimney thoroughly swept clean and to seek the advice of your retailer regarding the installation of a chimney cowl.

When using ceramic fuel, ensure that these do not touch any of the polished surfaces as this will help to minimise the possibility of thermal discolouration.

When using gas fires, the products of combustion can sometimes cause white deposits to form. These deposits can usually be removed with a soft brush.

When using cast iron products in a solid fuel application only burn small fires initially. This will temper the cast iron.
High temperature paint is used on the black and graphite products where fires will burn. This paint will eventually burn off. A proprietary, high temperature paint can be used to recoat your fireplace. Such paint is available from your retailer.
There are some very high temperature burning fuels which can cause damage to any fireplace. Please refer to the Solid Fuel Association (www.solidfuel.co.uk) recommendations and use an approved coal merchant as your supplier. No responsibility can be accepted if high temperature fuels have been purchased from an unapproved source.

Clean ash away regularly as a build up beneath the fire will cause the grate to burn out quickly.

The grate is a consumable part of your fire and will need replacement from time to time, depending on the frequency and burning temperature of your fires.

A gas fire is a technical piece of equipment and, just like a gas boiler needs regular servicing. Please ensure that you have your gas fire serviced regularly by a CORGI registered installer.

This will help you enjoy safe and trouble free enjoyment of your fireplace for years to come and may be a requirement of the Government’s proposed Home Information Pack, due to become a legal requirement in June 2007.
