FLOOR PROTECTOR (Hearth) CONSTRUCTION
In Australia the minimum floor protection requirement is a sheet of 6mm fibre cement board. It is usually
fastened directly to the floor.
The necessary minimum construction details for ash and insulating floor protectors are shown below, and
such constructions are suitable for use on solid timber or particle board floors. Bricks or concrete in contact
with the flooring material do NOT provide the required insulation. If the floor within 500mm of the
appliance is concrete and has no combustible material in contact with it, a floor protector is not required. In this
case, if tiles or pieces of slate etc. are required for decorative purposes, they may be fixed directly to the
concrete floor.
In both countries, the protector must extend right under the woodfire and a durable top surface will
be needed to resist damage from heat or dropped embers. Obvious surface materials are slate, bricks
and ceramic tiles. Any gaps in the top surfacing material must be grouted to prevent the penetration of
embers. A trim moulding will provide a neat edge finish.
Australia — One sheet 6mm fibre cement board.
New Zealand — Insulating Floor Protectors:- Two sheets of MICORE160 or
one sheet of WOODTEX (35 thick).
Ash Floor protectors:- One sheet 6mm fibre cement board,
