CLEARANCES
SAFELY
You
may
decrease
the
minimum
clearances
to
heat
‐
sensitive
materials
by
installing
heat
radiation
shields
between
the
walls
or
the
ceiling
and
the
wood
fire.
These
heat
radiation
shields
must
be
installed
permanently,
and
must
be
made
of
a
heat
‐
resistant
or
heat
‐
tolerant
material.
An
air
gap
must
separate
the
heat
shield
from
any
heat
‐
sensitive
surface.
Furthermore,
the
heat
shield
shall
extend
in
all
directions
beyond
the
boundaries
of
the
appliance
surface
by
a
distance
of
not
less
than
450
mm.
Exceptions
may
apply.
Refer
to
AS/NZS
2918:2001.
Following
the
installation
of
such
heat
radiation
shields,
the
minimum
clearances
to
heat
‐
sensitive
materials
may
be
reduced
by
applying
the
clearances
factor
in
the
table
