5.6
The minimum height from the base of the fire to the underside of any shelf made
from wood or other combustible materials is as follows:-
•
For a shelf up to 150mm deep
Minimum height = 780mm.
•
For a shelf deeper than 150mm
780mm + 12.5mm for every 25mm depth over 150mm.
(See graph 1)
There is no restriction on the position or depth of non-combustible projections for all
normal installations. Installation into an unusually tightly restricted recess, however,
could cause the temperature of the appliance surfaces to become unacceptably high.
5.7
It is advisable that combustible fabrics such as curtains are not fitted above the
fire. If, however, this is unavoidable, the extreme bottom edge of the fabric must be at
least 780mm above the top surface of the hearth or finished floor.
