Reducing Clearances To Combustibles, Part 1

Obadiah's Cassey Dare show's you how to safely reduce clearances to combustibles, Part 1 of 8.
Here you will see the first step in preparing your walls to reduce the clearances to the combustible framing inside the wall. We show you what products to use and how to install them in a series of "how to" video's. You will learn about K Values and how to safely use various techniques to protect your internal combustible stud wall cavity, or log wall, from spontaneous combustion a few years down the road.
We show you ways to protect the walls by adding a 1" air space that uses naturally occurring convection principles to use air to cool your walls from the radiant heat.
Simply adding stone, or tile, to the surface of a combustible wall does not protect it from radiant heat as much as you would think. Without an air space, the masonry product will actually transfer the heat into the wall. If temperatures inside the wall stay above 180 degrees for extended periods of time, the wood will dry out to the point that it can spontaneously combust when you least expect it.
Lastly check with your local building codes and ordinances.
