Enclosing The Fireplace; Non-Combustible Materials List - Element4 Modore 240 GSB Installation, Operation And Owner's Manual

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. Even though these materials may have
been 'flame-proofed', made 'fire-resistant' or are 'fire-rated' they are considered combustible. Standard and Type X drywall are
combustible.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
A material is non-combustible when it cannot catch fire and burn. For example, materials made of stone, brick, concrete, tile, steel,
plaster or glass are non-combustible.
The table below (Figure __) shows a list of materials which are reported by their manufacturers to be non-combustible (in accordance
32
with the ASTM E136 standard) AND approved for use around fireplaces.
Skamol Skamotec® 225 and the Promat PROMAFOUR® system are preferred products for enclosing fireplaces.
