Enclosing The Fireplace; Non- Combustible Materials List - Element4 Modore 100H Installation Manual

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. 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 both
combustible.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
A material is said to be non-combustible when it cannot catch fire and burn. For example, materials made entirely, or in combinations,
of, stone, brick, concrete, tile, steel, plaster or glass are considered non-combustible.
The table below shows a list of materials which, as of this writing, are reported by their manufacturers to be non-combustible (in
accordance 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.
