Hearth and Fireplace Requirements
Do not be tempted to fit the stove into an unsuitable fireplace. Beyond the requirements
of the building regulations and access to facilitate servicing the stove, providing a
setting which will complement the stove is not a luxury, it is the practicality of making
the most of an investment. A good builder will be able to transform even the most
utilitarian of fireplaces, whether altering its proportions to those of the “Golden Mean”
ideal, exposing a wooden lintel, stone or simply removing superfluous detailing for
comparatively small costs, and the result will be a pleasure for many years.
