- From the nearest combustible wall or surface
(A, B, D, E, G, H)
- From the Metro’s flue centre (A, B, C, D)
- From the outermost point of the Metro’s cabinet

- To the edge of the ash floor protectors non-combustible
surface (C, F, I, J, K, L, M)

Pioneer manufacture an extensive range of what Pioneer
term “Ash Floor Protectors” which comply with the minimum
floor protector requirement of AS/NZS2918:2001, and can be
installed with any freestanding Metro wood fire.
Metro freestanding wood fires do not require an insulated floor
protector as they comply with the minimum floor protector
requirements of AS/NZS2918:2001. These minimum floor
protector requirements are;
• They must be of adequate size to give appropriate wall,
rear and front clearances/projections as detailed in the
clearance chart illustrated below. Note;
- The floor protector must extend 100mm horizontally to
the rear and 200mm horizontally to each side directly
below the door opening, and 300mm forward of the door
opening.
- The upper surface of the floor protector must be made of
non combustible material.
• A suitable floor protector for a Metro freestanding wood
fire is therefore any non-combustible material which could
include;
- Ceramic tiles with grouted joints fixed directly to timber
flooring.
- A sheet of toughened glass, panel steel etc. laid directly
onto a wooden or other combustible floor.
Note: If being installed onto a concrete or non-combustible floor a floor
protector is not required.
