Levels of Quality, Sizes, Edges, and Joining Systems. Shaw classifies its floors as Good, Better, Best, and Superior. Most floors fall in the Better or Best categories, with some floors falling into both categories at once (doubling the wear layer thickness bumps a product up to the Best level).
If your shelf projects 1 1/2 inches or less, there must be at least six inches between the top of the fireplace and the mantel. Any parts of the mantel that project more than 1 1/2 inches must be at least 12 inches from the top of the fireplace.
Distance Matters. The top of a chimney pipe must extend at least 2 feet above the peak of the roof, if the pipe is within 10 feet of the peak. If the pipe is farther than 10 feet from the roof peak, it must be 2 feet above the highest point of the roof within 10 feet. In other words, the highest point within a 10-foot circle of the pipe is the height that must be cleared by at least 2 feet.
