1.  Combustible material must be installed flush with 

the fireplace.  It may not project in front of and on 

the fireplace (e.g. the steel facade of the fireplace) 

(Figure 20)

.

or ceramic tile may project in front of and onto 

the fireplace facing

installed. The facade is designed to 

overlap any facing material installed 

on the front of the fireplace. If thicker

be easily removed for servicing.
