Summit sml-72-ffp Fluted Fiber Back Panel 72 Inches

Product Description

The SUMMIT sml-72-ffp is a 72-inch fluted fiber back panel with a metal side, designed for use in linear fireplace systems. This interior liner panel provides the decorative rear wall surface visible inside the firebox, combining a fluted texture with fiber construction and metal side reinforcement. It is installed by fireplace technicians or qualified contractors during new fireplace builds or when replacing a worn or damaged firebox liner. The fluted profile adds visual depth to the firebox interior while the fiber material withstands high radiant heat exposure.

This panel is sized at 72 inches to fit linear fireplace configurations, which are typically wide-format, horizontal firebox designs commonly installed in residential living spaces, master suites, and commercial hospitality settings. Linear fireplaces require purpose-built panels to match their extended horizontal dimensions, making this a purpose-fit component rather than a universal liner. Installation typically occurs during rough-in or during a service call to replace a degraded interior panel.

Key Features

• 72-inch width sized for linear fireplace applications
• Fluted texture profile adds visual depth to the firebox interior
• Fiber construction rated for sustained high-temperature firebox environments
• Metal side reinforcement for structural support and edge durability
• Purpose-built replacement or new-install liner panel

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or new-installation back panel for SUMMIT linear fireplace systems requiring a 72-inch fluted fiber back panel with metal side.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fireplace technician or licensed contractor familiar with linear fireplace systems. Always ensure the fireplace is fully powered down, gas supply is shut off, and the firebox is completely cool before removing or installing any interior liner panels. Follow the fireplace manufacturer's installation instructions and applicable local fire and building codes when fitting interior firebox components.
