Before installing any mantels it is
important to determine the combustibility
of its material(s). There are two types of
mantels to consider: Combustible and
Non-Combustible.
A
Combustible Mantel
is one that
consists of material(s) that may discolor,
combust, or lose its integrity in the
presence of heat. These types of mantels
must strictly conform to the dimensional
requirements shown.
Conversely, a
Non-Combustible Mantel
is one that is constructed with material(s)
that will not combust. Check your local
codes and regulations to determine
whether your mantel is combustible or
Non-Combustible.
The advantage to Non-Combustible
Mantels is that it may extend right up to
the tile lip of the fireplace. Combustible
mantels must adhere to the dimensional
restrictions shown.
-Combustible Objects on Non-
Combustible Mantel Warning-
Combustible objects must not be placed
on a Non-combustible Mantel unless the
mantel meets the dimensional
requirements for a Combustible Mantel.
Determine whether your mantel
conforms to the requirements of a
Combustible Mantel.
