For specific guidancewhen cast iron stoves are being installed in boats and
homes with thatched roofs, please refer to the SOLIFTEC website at;

SUPPORTING FLOORS
The stove must only be installed on floors with an adequate load bearing
capacity and if the existing construction is not suitable, additional measures
such as a load distributing plate must be provided.
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove and its
chimney if the chimney is not independantly supported. Stoves should stand
entirely above hearths made of non-combustible board/sheet material or
tiles at least 12mm thick, if the stove is not to stand in a recess and has been
tested to an applicable standard to verify that it cannot cause the
temperature of the upper surface of the hearth to exceed 100 degrees C.
Constructional hearths should be made of solid, non-combustable material
such as concrete or masonry, at least 125mm thick, including the thickness of
any non-combustible floor and/or decorative surface.
Specific guidance for surfaces on which the stove may be allowed to stand is
given in Approved Document J and must be followed.
When the stove is positioned near a wall constructed of flammable material,
the distances shown on Fig 5 must be adhered to. Alternatively, a heat shield
may be used, mounted according to the position of the fireplace. A firewall
must be at least 100 mm thick & typically made of brick, or concrete/stone.
MATERIAL CLEARANCES
The stove must have a minimum clearance of 1200 mm to a combustible
ceiling above.
It is recommended that the stove be installed at least 600 mm from
combustible materials. However, any household furnishings should be at least
1000 mm away as they could be adversely affected by heat.
