It is possible to reduce the distances to combustibles with an appropriate heat shield,
(British Standard 8303).
We manufacture several sizes of wall mounted heat shield made from 1.5 mm steel which
maintains a 40 mm air gap. (This is greater that the minimum distance required by BS8303).
They have an open top and bottom to allow for a flow of cool air between the heat shield and
combustible material. Be aware that you are heat shielding both the stove and flue collar.
3.j Heat Shielding
Distances to combustibles, square into corner & flat wall installation 5kW
The distances to combustibles can be reduced to a minimum of 95 mm from
the rear of the stove to the front of the heat shield, when installed square
into a corner. This applies to free standing installations on a flat wall as well,
(see diagram on facing page).
Distances to combustibles, diagonal corner installation 5kW
If the stove is installed at an angle of 45 degrees to the wall, then the distance
can be reduced to a minimum of 65 mm from the nearest point of the stove to
the front face of the heat shield, (see diagram on facing page).
FREE STANDING STOVES, 5kW
3.h CO Alarms
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/
biomass appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the
same room as the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide
alarm is available in BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance
correctly or ensuring regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
3.i Flue Dampers
We recommend that dampers are not used with our stoves.
