3.3 protecting the floor
• any combustible floor beneath a fireplace must have a floor protector that extends 100mm beyond the sides
and back of the firebox and 300mm at the front.
• if installed directly on combustible material, the floor protector must be made of a minimum 24mm thick cement
sheet. non-combustible finishes can be applied to the floor protector (tiles, steel sheet, light concrete, etc).
• if the combustible floor is installed on concrete, you can replace the combustible material with non-
combustible material laid directly onto the concrete.
