  • Page 29: Enclosing The Fireplace

    ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE When enclosing your Element4 fireplace the use of non-combustible building materials is REQUIRED. Please read and understand the following. COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS Materials that can catch fire and burn are considered combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with, wood, wood pulp, paper, plastic or any other material that can catch fire and burn is considered combustible.
  • Page 30: Building The Enclosure

    1. Most important, these fireplaces are NOT zero-clearance fireplaces. Unlike zero-clearance fireplaces, there is not a metal box around the Element4 fireplaces. With no metal box there are no louvers to distract your view of the fire. However, we want the cooling advantage of a metal box so your site-built, non-combustible enclosure will substitute.
  • Page 31 When enclosing the Sky T fireplace there is a minimum clear area which must be maintained. Nothing except the Sky T may be within this area. When enclosed, the Sky T is centered - left to right and front to back - within this minimum area, above. This minimum area MUST BE DEFINED BY NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.

The list below shows the thickness of the approved wall products. Your choice of wall material depends largely on the intended finish. For example, a thinner wall product and a layer of stone may be thick enough to reach the trim edge.
