Materials directly in contact with the faceplate of the fireplace may be combustible.
Non-combustible material such as brick, stone or ceramic tile may be in contact with the
fireplace decorative frame. Note that if you ever needed to remove the decorative frame, it
might be wise not to seal between the faceplate and finishing material.

6.3.3.3 Compliance of a Combustible Mantel Shelf
To ensure compliance of an existing mantel shelf or to install a combustible mantel shelf,
refer to table and figure below. For example, a mantel shelf with a 6'' depth (152 mm) ((C)
value) must be installed at least 50" (1270 mm) ((B) value) above the bottom of the
fireplace (see figure below). Different mantel shelf dimensions are listed in the following
table. However, no combustible mantel shelf can be installed at less than 50" (1270 mm)
above the bottom of the fireplace. If the depth of the mantel shelf is not listed in the table
below, add 44" (1118 mm) to the depth of your mantel shelf to obtain the safe positioning
of your mantel shelf. For example, for a 9" (229 mm) mantel shelf, the safe positioning
would be 53" (1346 mm) above the bottom of the fireplace 44" (1118 mm) + 9" (229 mm)).
