FINISHING FIREPLACE
Combustible materials, such as wallboard,
gypsum board, sheet rock, drywall, plywood,
etc. may make direct contact with sides and top
around the fireplace face. It is important that
combustible materials do not overlap the face
itself. Brick, glass, tile or other noncombustible
materials may overlap the front face provided
they do not obstruct essential openings like
louvered slots or any other opening. When
overlapping with a noncombustible facing
material, use only noncombustible mortar or
adhesive.
