It is possible to reduce the distances to combustibles with an appropriate heat shield,
(British Standard 8303).
We manufacture several sizes of wall mounted heat shield made from 1.5 mm steel which
maintain a 40 mm air gap. (This is greater that the minimum distance required by BS8303).
They have an open top and bottom to allow for a flow of cool air between the heat shield and
combustible material. Be aware that you are heat shielding both the stove and flue collar.
3.i Heat Shielding
Distances to combustibles, square into corner & flat wall installation 5kW
The distances to combustibles can be reduced to a minimum of 95 mm from
the rear of the stove to the front of the heat shield, when installed square
into a corner. This applies to free standing installations on a flat wall as well,
(see diagram on facing page).
Distances to combustibles, diagonal corner installation 5kW
If the stove is installed at an angle of 45 degrees to the wall, then the distance
can be reduced to a minimum of 65 mm from the nearest point of the stove to
the front face of the heat shield, (see diagram on facing page).
FREE STANDING STOVES, 5kW
The higher output stoves are not covered under BS8303. We recommend the following.
Distances to combustibles, square into corner & flat wall installation 8 kW
The distances can be reduced by half between the rear of the stove and the
front of the heat shield, when installed square into a corner. This applies to free
standing installations on a flat wall as well.
FREE STANDING STOVES, 8kW
Distances to combustibles, diagonal corner installation 8kW
If the stove is installed at an angle of 45 degrees to the wall, then the distance
can be reduced to half of the recommended distances to combustible, from the
nearest point of the stove to the front face of the heat shield.
