FINISHING
Finish the walls with the material of your choice. Figure 21 on
page 14 shows the minimum vertical and corresponding maximum
horizontal dimensions of mantels or other combustible projections
above the top front edge of the fireplace. Only non-combustible
materials may be used to cover the black fireplace front.
When finishing the fireplace never obstruct or modify the air
inlet/outlet. Provide adequate clearances around air openings
into the combustion chamber.
If the joints between the finished wall and the fireplace surround
(top and sides) are sealed, use a 300 degree Fahrenheit minimum
sealant. These joints are not required to be sealed. Only non-
combustible material (using 300 degree Fahrenheit minimum
adhesive if needed), can be applied as facing to the fireplace
surround.
