Maximum Overhang Depth

. Overhang depth is measured from the edge of the fireplace lip
to the out-most part of the wall (including finish material).
Side overhang has no limit.
Finish material on the underside of the
overhang may be combustible or non-combustible.
Bottom recess (or “hearth extension”) has no minimum or maximum depth requirement. If bottom recess depth exceeds 12 inches,
ensure the structure is capable of supporting the weight of a fireplace technician for servicing.
