Platform
The fireplace must be installed on a flat, solid, continuous surface. Surface can be wood, concrete, metal, and other typical solid floor
types. Surface material is not required to be non-combustible.
To raise the fireplace higher than standard height, build a platform to which the fireplace can be secured. Platform must be stable
and able to bear the full weight of the fireplace. Platform can be constructed out of wood, concrete, metal, or any other solid materials.
Material is not required to be non-combustible.
To lower the fireplace, it must be recessed into the floor. Fireplace legs cannot be removed, cut, or adjusted.
NOTE: For fireplaces with the double glass heat barrier, an air intake might be necessary to incorporate into the platform
depending on the design. See “Air Intake for a Platform” for details.
