such as slate or marble is installed between
the base of the firebox and the combustible
flooring. The firebox may be installed directly
on a combustible floor or raised on a platform
of an appropriate height. Do not place firebox
on carpeting, vinyl, or other soft floor coverings.
It may, however, be placed on a flat wood, ply-
wood, particle board, or other hard surfaces. Be
sure firebox rests on a solid continuous floor or
platform with appropriate framing for support so that no cold air can
enter room from under the firebox.
