INSULATED CHASE CONSTRUCTION
Facing
1. Materials directly in contact with the faceplate of the fireplace, especially the vertical
and horizontal surround, must be non-combustible and have the minimal dimensions
as shown on figure 16.
2. Non-combustible materials such as brick, stone or ceramic tile may project in front of
and onto the fireplace decorative frame.
Caution: Materials must be installed so that the faceplate may be removed after the
installation. The faceplate is designed to overlap the material surrounding the fireplace. If the
material is thicker, use a faceplate gauge for positioning and make sure that the faceplate can
be removed after it has been installed.
