Hearth Requirements & Clearances
These appliances are suitable for non-combustible hearths with a minimum
thickness of 12mm; they do not require a full constructional hearth.
Your stove must be installed on a solid, level non-combustible hearth. The hearth
protrusion in front of the stove to carpets or wooden floors must be at least 300mm. As it is
possible, that on opening the door of the stove for fuel to fall out, a fender must be fitted if
the hearth is flush with the finished floor level. These are just a few hearth specifications.
Please refer to Building Regulations Approved Document J (Hearths) for more specific
details.
Clearances
The stove requires the following clearances around it to ensure the heat is released into
the room and to allow sufficient combustion air flow. A combustible material clearance is
given to prevent damage to any items that may be affected by heat.
