2.7. Home Improvements
WARNING:
If after installation of this fire any home improvements (e.g. double
glazing, secondary double glazing, draught proofing, fitting extractor fans,
laminate flooring etc.) are carried out to the property it is essential to carry out a
spillage test on the fire to ensure that the flue is still operating satisfactorily.
NOTICE: Discolouration of wall surfaces
Generally, heating appliances will create warm air convection currents that will
transfer heat to any wall surface against which they are located.
Some soft furnishings (including blown vinyl wallpapers) may not be suitable for
use where they are likely to encounter temperatures above the normal room
level. For this reason, the manufacturer’s advice should be sought before using
this type of wall covering adjacent to any heating appliance.
The likelihood of wall staining caused from convected air currents will be
increased in areas where high levels of tobacco smoke or other contaminants
exist.
