Hearths
The stove should stand wholly above a hearth constructed of suitably robust materials and should be able to
accommodate the weight of the appliance and its unsupported flue components. The materials should conform
to local Building Regulations and British Standards.
If the stove is not to stand in an appliance recess, a hearth made of non-combustible board/sheet material or
tiles of at least 12mm thick may be used as long as the floor can accommodate the weight of the appliance
and its unsupported flue components. If it is installed on a wooden floor or similar, the floor must be covered
with a non-combustible material, a minimum of 12mm thick, to a distance of 300mm in front of the stove and
150mm to each side measuring from the closed door of the combustion chamber.
The Hwam range of stoves have been tested and conform to standards where the hearth temperature does not
exceed 100°C This means a hearth of 12mm of noncombustible material can be used.
