Finish Requirements - Superior CST-38 Installation Instructions Manual

"R value" = 1 = r x thickness of material used
k
Example: Given that the required "R value" for
a suitable hearth extension used must be equal
to or greater than:
"R" = r x T = 1.19 x " = 1.19.
L
If it is desired to elevate a marble hearth exten-
sion to a level of 5" or more above the floor
surface. What combination of noncombustible
materials can be used to accomplish this?
If common brick is used so that the 3
dimension is the height, "R" for the common
brick becomes:
"R" = r x T = 0.20 x 3
M M
Using " of mortar to set the brick, "R" for the
mortar is calculated as follows:
"R" = r x T = 0.20 x " = .10
M M
A " marble slab set in
brick, "R" for the marble and mortar becomes:
"R" = r x T = 0.09 x
M M
"R" = r x T = 0.20 x
M M
The sum of all "R values" is:
.70 + .10 +. 068 + .10 = .968
This would not be an acceptable combination
of material for the hearth extension since the
total calculated "R value" of the materials used
is under the required "R value" of 1.19. An
additional layer of insulating materials must
be used.
WARNING: THE CRACK BETWEEN THE
FIREPLACE AND THE HEARTH EXTEN-
SION MUST BE SEALED WITH A NON-
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING THE
HEARTH EXTENSION BE CAREFUL NOT
TO BLOCK THE HEAT-CIRCULATING AIR
INLET GRILL.

WARNING: WHEN INSTALLING HEARTH

FINISH TO YOUR TASTE
" = .068
" = .10
There are a wide variety of "finished looks" for
your CST and CPF fireplace from formal wall
decor with elaborate mantels to rustic wood
paneling or warm brick facings.
Only noncombustible materials like marble,
stone, tile, brick, etc. may overlap the black
front facing, but be careful not to interfere with
the operation of the glass doors. Seal all joints
between the black facing and wall surrounds
to prevent cold air intrusion. Use noncombus-
tible caulking material only to seal the black
metal facing to the surround material on the
finished wall.
Combustibles may also project beyond the
sides of the fireplace opening as long as they
are kept within the shaded areas, as illustrated
in Figures 60 and 61 .
