For applications with a greater offset, “Z” shaped strips will have to be fabricated of metal. Overlap safety strips at least 1/2” to provide a positive joint. The safety strips must also extend at least 1¹⁄₂” (38mm) beyond the sides of the fireplace. (Fig. 11)

NOTE: Safety strips are not required over noncombus- tible floors where all supports at the base of the fire- place are noncombustible.
