• Alcoves are classified as combustible or non-combustible. Non-combustible alcoves must have walls and a ceiling that are 3 1/2" thick of a non-combustible material (brick, stone, or concrete). This non-combustible material must be spaced and ventilated at least 1" off of all combustible materials (walls, ceiling, etc.) to allow air to move around the non-combustible walls and ceiling. All other alcoves are considered combustible. The clearances below must be met:
