Vinyl Flooring is sensitive to heat. A 48 inch minimum

depth hearth extension is recommended when using
vinyl flooring up to the wall. See Figure 7.4.
Notice: Clearances that do not meet the minimum

guidelines could result in damage or buckling to the

vinyl flooring and is done at the installer’s risk.
Hearth and Home Technologies does not recommend

adhesive based vinyl flooring due to thermal expan

sion. Floating-style flooring can be used, but will reach

temperatures up to 110°F in a room with ambient tem

peratures of 70°F. Consult flooring specifications to

ensure compatibility.

Vinyl Flooring

Note: For installations

with vinyl flooring, special
