HEARTH EXTENSION

An acceptable 61½" x 20" non-combustible (ie: brick, stone or ceramic tile) hearth extension must be installed. Hearth must extend 20" in front of the faceplate when it is not elevated (see local building codes).

Hearth must extend a minimum of 6" to both sides of the unit (61 ½").

Hearth must be a minimum of 1" thick cement board (or equivalent) plus ¼" ceramic tile.

Ensure that the gap

between the fireplace and a combustible hearth extension is sealed with sand/cement grout or covered with a metal strip (or both) to prevent sparks and embers from falling into this area.

See hearth examples.

Elevated hearths must be constructed of non- combustible materials such as cement blocks or bricks.

While the fireplace can be installed directly on the floor, a non-combustible hearth extension is required in front of the fireplace, that must not be built higher than the bottom of the fireplace faceplate. It may therefore be advisable to build the fireplace on a raised platform.

Hearths raised minimum 6 ½" must extend a minimum of 18".
