3.3 Protecting the floor
• any combustible floor beneath a fireplace must have a floor protector that extends 300mm beyond the
diameter of the firebox in all directions.
• if installed directly on combustible material, the floor protector must be made of a minimum 6mm
thick cement sheet. non-combustible finishes can be applied to the floor protector (tiles, steel sheet,
light concrete, etc).
• if the combustible floor is installed on concrete, you can replace the combustible material with non-
combustible material laid directly onto the concrete.
