Table 1

 

 

 

**If the hearth extension material(s) that is intended to be used is NOT listed on Table 1, the material can still be used if the material(s) is noncombustible. However, the manufacturer of the material must provide either the listed k- value per inch or r-value per inch with listed thickness so that the minimum thickness required for the hearth can be calculated (per instructions on this Page and/or as specified in the NFI Certification manuals).

Note: Also see NFI (National Fireplace Institute) Certification Manuals showing other acceptable calculation methods and acceptable alternate materials which can be used.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS NOT TO SCALE.

Calculating Minimum Thickness if Multiple Materials are Used

At times it is important to know what combination of materials are acceptable for use as floor protection. The “R values” are used to determine acceptable combinations of materials because “R values” are additive where r and k values are not.

“R value” = 1/k = “r” x thickness of material used

Example: Given that the required “R value” for a suitable floor protector used must be equal to or greater than:

“R” = rL x TL = 1.19 x 1” = 1.19.”

If it is desired to elevate a marble hearth ex- tension to a level of 5” or more above the floor surface. What combination of noncombus- tible materials can be used to accomplish this?

If common brick is used so that the 3 1/2” dimension is the height, “R” for the common brick becomes:

brick

“R”M = rM x TS = 0.20 x 3 1/2" = .70

Using 1/2” of mortar to set the brick, “R” for the mortar is calculated as follows:

mortar

“R”M = rM x TS = 0.20 x 1/2" = .10

Next, a 3/4" marble slab set in 1/2" mortar cov- ers the brick, “R” for the marble and mortar becomes:

marble

“R”M = rM x TS = 0.05 x 3/4" = .038

mortar

“R”M = rM x TS = 0.20 x 1/2" = .10
