 If this measurement is 

less than 500mm, a custom surround

 

 will be required.  

Ensure that extra depth required at ‘B’ is also added to the 

hearth measurement “K”.

Built-in fi re clearances don’t apply in a non-combustible cavity.  The 

above clearance to combustibles on the fl ue are only applicable within 

the fi re envelope.  Clearance outside this, eg at a ceiling/wall thimble 

reverts to 25mm as per ARS fl ue test 05/1185.

If installing a fl oating hearth, ensure suffi cient clearance is left below 

the fi re to allow for installation of the chosen surround.
