Installation distance in case of combustible wall

To find out whether the wall next to where the stove is going to be installed is flammable, 

you should contact your building contractor or the local building authorities.

The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove. The chimney must be 

independently supported by wall brackets or a ceiling support plate. The weight of the stove 

is indicated in the brochure.

The stove should always be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and construction 

that is in accordance with the provisions of the current UK Building Regulations Approved 

Document J.

If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a noncombustible 

material at least 12mm thick, in accordance with UK Building Regulations Approved Docu-

ment J, to a distance of 300 mm in front of the stove and 150 mm to each side measuring 

from the door of the combustion chamber.

The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth 

and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of com-

bustible material given in UK Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in these 

stove instructions.
