Walls:
Walls of combustible materials must be protected from fire with ceramic tiles 1" thick, or an equivalent non-
combustible material, on fire-proof supports, or with a metal sheet minimum of 0,06" (1.5 mm) on fire-proof
supports.
The protection’s height should be from the floor to the level of 10” (250 mm) over the top of stove.
The minimum clearance from the wall to the nearest surface or side of the stove and flue should be:
a) clearance from combustible or semi-combustible wall to the stove and flue – not less than 20” (500 mm).
b) clearance from the wall, protected by a metal sheet, to the stove and flue – not less than 15” (380 mm)
c) clearance from the non-combustible wall to the stove and flue – not less than 4” (100 mm)
d) clearance from the firebox door to the nearest wall – not less than 50” (1250 mm)
Ceiling:
The clearance between the top of the stove and the ceiling should be not less than 50” (1250 mm).
The minimum clearances to combustible materials can be decreased by installing fire-proof shields
between the floor or walls and the stove. Those shields must be installed permanently, if you plan to use
the installation site periodically.
