2.5 The SBI Commitment to You and the Environment
The SBI team is committed to protecting the environment, so we do everything we can to use only
materials in our products that will have no lasting negative impact on the environment.
2.5.1 What is Your New Fireplace Made Of?
The body of your fireplace, which is most of its weight, is carbon steel. Should it ever become necessary
many years in the future, almost the entire fireplace can be recycled into new products, thus eliminating
the need to mine new materials.
The paint coating on your fireplace is very thin. Its VOC content (Volatile Organic Compounds) is very low.
VOCs can be responsible for smog, so all the paint used during the manufacturing process meets the latest
air quality requirements regarding VOC reduction or elimination.
The air tubes are stainless steel, which can also be recycled.
The C-Cast baffle is made of an aluminosilicate fibre material that is compressed with a binder to form a
rigid board. C-Cast can withstand temperatures above 2,000 °F. It is not considered hazardous waste.
Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
Moulded refractory bricks are mainly composed of silicon dioxide, also known as silica, a product processed
from a mined mineral. It is most commonly found in nature in the form of sand and clay. Disposal at a
landfill is recommended. The steel mesh contained in some refractory bricks can be recycled.
The door and glass gaskets are fibreglass which is spun from melted sand. Black gaskets have been dipped
into a solvent-free solution. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
The door glass is a 5 mm thick ceramic material that contains no toxic chemicals. It is made of natural raw
materials such as sand and quartz that are combined in such a way to form a high temperature glass.
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled in the same way as normal glass, so it should not be disposed of with your
regular household products. Disposal at a landfill is recommended.
