FINISHING YOUR FIREPLACE (ZC)
There is a wide variety of finishing material
available for your fireplace from formal wall
treatments with marble and mantels, to rustic
wood paneling, stone or brick.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT BLACK FACE OF
FIREPLACE NOT BE COVERED WITH ANY
TYPE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
Non-combustible facing materials such as
marble, brick or ceramic tile may overlap
black face of fireplace up to opening on
either side of fireplace. Seal all joints
between black fireplace face and wall
covering with a heat-resistant material such
as rock wool insulation or mortar. Be sure to
use high temperature adhesive or mortar
when anchoring brick, stone or tile to face of
fireplace. Check to see whether man-made
brick and stone are made of non-combustible
materials before using them on the face of
fireplace. Some of these products contain
combustible materials. Combustible wall
coverings such as paneling or wallboard may
not overlap black face of fireplace. The
space between wall covering and fireplace
should be sealed with a heat resistant material
such as rock wool insulation or mortar.

installed across top of firebox opening where

on face of firebox. It acts as a support/
