Make sure the floor can take the weight of the stove, the flue, the hearth and any
decorative surround.
3.e Floors
A hearth is made up of 2 layers: a constructional hearth (base concrete layer) and a
superimposed hearth (top decorative layer). In some circumstances a superimposed
hearth is acceptable on its own. All of our stoves require a constructional hearth unless
the stoves are either on a plinth or have a base heat shield fitted. (The Penguin 8 has
not currently been tested for use with a base heat shield but it can go on a plinth).
