What to use behind BS range-non combustible and heat resistant?
Comments (15)Hi, lovetocook9 - Well, I baked for 6 hours so it was a good time to test the heat off the sides of my BS range. I thoroughly felt all over the insides of the base cabinets on both sides of my range and felt no heat anywhere. As to the amount this range projects out from my cabinets: the main body of the range projects only 3/8 inch from the actual "face" of my base cabinets - which brings it even with the front of my cabinet doors. The oven door extends a further 3 inches and the metal deck in front of the burners extends an additional half inch. From home photos I've seen on the BS website and the BS Installation Manual, this is normal. The specs call for a cabinet depth of 24 inches which allows the oven door to stand clear of the cabinets. My old range fit this same way and was never a problem either. Good luck with your project....See MoreDeck and Terrace Materials? Non-Combustible
Comments (0)Any suggestions as to how to pave the terrace area at the bottom of a steel or steel/wood deck? the deck stairs will lead back to the garden, and half will stay green/grass/plants and the other half will be terrace, but I don't want it to be too hard a material becuase there will be kids running around and I don't want people to fall to get too hurt. is there a terrace material that's not overly pricey or too hard-surfaced, but still nice for putting a table and chairs on?

Comments (10)The ICC-ES Evaluation Report (ESR-2290) states that James Hardie fiber-cement sidings "comply with ASTM C1186, as Grade II, Type A; have a flame-spread index of 0 and a smoke-developed index of 5 when tested in accordance with ASTM E84; and are classified as noncombustible when tested in accordance with ASTM E136." Nichiha USA "siding products are noncombustible building construction materials complying with IBC Section 703.5 as determined by testing in accordance with ASTM E136". Whether or not these materials look like wood is another matter....See MoreNon-combustible wall behind Buestar range with island Trim?? HELP!!!!
Comments (26)I guess I am the outlier. I read the installation instructions from first page to the last. I also gave my builder the installation instructions. This was 5 years ago and the current instructions have actually changed from the instructions back then. If I am reading the current installation instructions correctly tile 6 inches below and above will be fine. The entire wall does not need to be noncombustible horizontally. Here are what the instructions say as far as zero clearance. The last paragraph states non combustible material need not extend horizontally. An island trim can be installed either in an island or against a wall with zero clearance as long as the following conditions are met. When the unit is installed in an island condition, the island trim itself should be kept a minimum of 6” from combustible materials at the rear. When the unit is installed in a zero clearance condition, non-combustible/heat resistant materials are to be used in a vertical plane for a minimum distance of 6” below the top horizontal plane of the unit and 6” above the top horizontal plane of the unit where the unit meets the back wall. When a unit is installed with any other back guard in a zero clearance condition, noncombustible/heat resistant materials are to be used in a vertical plane for a minimum distance of 6” below the top horizontal plane of the unit and at least equal in height to the back guard being used. The non-combustible material need not extend horizontally past the initial barriers thickness. The initial barrier should consist of materials such as ceramic tile, cement backer board, stainless steel (.032” Thick) or other non-combustible material. Non-combustible materials are defined as non-combustible as in the form in which the material is used and under the conditions anticipated, the material will not aid combustion or add appreciable heat to an ambient fire or materials that are in compliance with ASTM E 136....See Morebmorepanic
