3.8 Heat shielding
• In some installations a heat shield may be advised but be aware that heat shielding
cannot achieve more that a 50% reduction in distances to combustibles.
• A heat shield must include an air gap between the heat shield and the wall so the
heat is not transferred, see diagram below.
• The penguin enclosure is a form of heat shield. We also manufacture a wall mounted
heat shield.
