3.2 Protecting the floor
• Any combustible floor beneath a fireplace must have a floor protector that extends 300mm at the front.
• If installed directly on combustible material, the floor protector must be made of a minimum 9mm thick cement
sheet. Non-combustible finishes can be applied to the floor protector (tiles, steel sheet, light concrete, etc).
• If the combustible floor is installed on concrete, you can replace the combustible material with non-
combustible material laid directly onto the concrete.
