Can your stone be installed around a wood fireplace?

Thank you for your question and interest in our stone veneer. You’re viewing a product sample page, to explore the full product and see detailed photos, please visit the main product page: https://blackbearmountainstone.com/products/lime-stone-tuscany. Our stone veneer is suitable for interior and exterior installations, including around fireplaces. Our stone veneer has not been tested for fire rating, however, due to its composition, our stone veneer is classified as a non-combustible material, meaning it will not catch fire or contribute to flame spread. However, while the stone veneer itself is non-combustible, the substrate and adhesives used during installation may be affected by heat exposure. Fire codes, local building codes, and manufacturer recommendations specify safe clearances from heat sources. For example: wood-burning stoves typically require a minimum clearance of 12-36 inches from combustible materials. Fireplaces and BBQs should have a protective barrier or non-combustible backing to prevent heat transfer. Always check fire codes, local building codes and the manufacturer’s guidelines to determine the correct clearance for your project. Our stone veneer should never come in direct contact with flames such as (but not limited to) inside a firebox. For installations near heat sources where fire codes, local building codes, and minimum clearances from heat sources have not been followed, warranty claims will be denied. For installations where stone veneer comes in direct contact with flames or direct contact with a heat source, warranty claims will be denied.  This blog post may help: https://blackbearmountainstone.com/blogs/heart-of-stone/is-stone-veneer-good-for-a-fireplace. Please let us know if you have any more questions!
