2. FLOOR PROTECTOR REQUIREMENTS
If the heater is to be placed on or within 500mm of a heat sensitive floor, an
insulated
floor protector will be required.
The insulated floor protector needs to extend under the heater and in front of the door. See
dimensions for floor protector. Similarly a 200mm extension is required on each side of
the door opening unless the insulated floor protector forms an abutment with a wall or
heat shield at a lesser distance.
The heater and floor protector must be fixed to the floor for seismic restraint. Anchor
points are provided in the feet of the unit.
INSULATED FLOOR PROTECTOR CONSTRUCTION
An
Insulated Floor Protector shall be a minimum thickness of
40mm
, consisting of
20mm of an approved insulation material i.e. 2 sheets of 10mm micorboard or superlux,
10mm tile backing board and 10mm tiles or similar on the top surface. All joints on the
upper surface should be sealed to prevent spilt ash from contacting any heat-sensitive
material.
