Face Kit (or Facings)

Trim
Trim is a metal border, made of three or four pieces, that covers the gap between the fireplace and the cabinet mantle.

Surround
A Surround is the non-combustible material that goes between the fireplace and the cast stone mantels. This material is often tile or marble.
