This is the measurement for a fireplace ad spanning 6 columns (3 columns on each facing page) plus the gutter of 30mm. Other Fireplace ads can be worked out by adding the appropriate columns required on each page plus 30mm. If in doubt, please ring us for confirmation
These column sizes are for ads not covered in the regular sizes above. Small fractional ads do not usually have bleed and should be supplied to their booked depth in millimetres x their column measurement (a 10×2 ad would therefore be 100mm high and 97 mm wide)
