6.5 Protective base for the stove
If you intend to install the stove on a flammable floor surface (e.g., wood), a plate of non-
combustible material must be placed underneath as a protective base. The size and shape
of the board must be calculated based on the safety distance requirements. The floor at
the front of the fireplace should also be protected with, for example, a spark damper.
IKI-Kiuas product range includes a 50 cm diameter stove base. The base has adjustable
legs. The protective base is also suitable for use with a tiled and waterproofed floor,
reducing the heat radiation to the floor.
