Finishing the Fireplace

There are a wide variety of finishing materials avail- able for your fireplace from formal wall treatments with marble and mantels to rustic wood paneling, stone or brick.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE BLACK FACE OF THE FIREPLACE NOT BE COVERED WITH ANY TYPE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.

Noncombustible facing materials such as marble, brick or ceramic tile may overlap the black face of the fire- place up to the opening on either side of the fireplace. Seal all joints between the black fireplace face and the wall covering with a heat-resistant material such as rock wool insulation or mortar. Be sure to use high tempera- ture adhesive or mortar when anchoring brick, stone or tile to the face of the fireplace. Check to see whether man-made brick and stone are made of noncombustible materials before using them on the face of the fireplace. Some of these products contain combustible materials. Combustible wall coverings such as paneling or wall- board may not overlap the black face of the fireplace. The space between the wall covering and the fireplace should be sealed with a heat-resistant material such as rock wool insulation or mortar.

NOTE: An “L” shaped steel lintel must be installed across the top of the firebox opening where facing materials such as brick or stone are used on the face of the firebox. It acts as a support/firestop. It should be attached to the face of the fireplace with screws and sealed to the fireplace with a heat-resistant sealer. Refer to Figure 6 for finishing options.
