What is Combustible?
Materials that can catch re and burn are considered
combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with,
wood, wood pulp, paper, plastic or any other material
that can catch re and burn is considered combustible.
Even though these materials may have been 'ame-
proofed', made 're-resistant' or are 're-rated' they are
considered combustible. Standard and Type X drywall
are both combustible.
What is Non-combustible?
A given material is said to be non-combustible when it
cannot catch re and burn. For example, materials made
entirely, or in combinations, of, stone, brick, concrete, tile,
steel, plaster or glass are considered non-combustible.
As of this writing, the materials listed below
are reported by their manufacturers to be non-
combustible (in accordance with the ASTM E136
standard) AND applicable for use around replaces:
