The wall above the stove will become hot and
should therefore be finished in a heat
resistant plaster.
IMPORTANT Do not hang
pictures, electrical equipment or ornaments
above the stove, as these could be damaged
and could potentially create a fire hazard
.
Please check the suitability of any
fireplace/surround for closed solid fuel
appliances before installation. Di Lusso
cannot be held responsible for any fault
arising through incorrect use or installation.
Fire surround back panels suitable for solid
fuel are usually in three sections and
slabbed. Many fire surrounds are suitable
only for use with gas and electric fires and
therefore not suitable for solid fuel.

EQUIREMENTS
A constructional hearth with a minimum
thickness of 125mm should be provided. The
constructional hearth should be made of solid
non-combustible material and can include any
solid non-combustible floor. The boundary of
the hearth must be clearly marked. This can
be done by adding a super-imposed hearth on
top of the constructional hearth – e.g. a slate
slab on top of a solid concrete floor.
Appliances installed with the base plate lower
than 300mm above the hearth should have a
constructional hearth extending to at least
300mm in front of the stove (as per Building
Regulations) however we would recommend
400mm and 150mm at the sides.
Appliances installed on a surface more than
300mm above the hearth require a
constructional hearth with a depth of 225mm
in front of the stove. The base on which the
appliance is mounted should be an extension
of the constructional hearth –
i.e. all material
between the stove base and the
constructional hearth must be solid-non
combustible material.
