Planning out flooring etc for lounge at the moment. Plan is to fit a multifuel stove (firefox5)
I've seen 2 different diagrams regarding the clearances the hearth must be from the builders opening, one saying 500mm from a jamb and the other 300/225 from the front of the appliance.
There currently is a very thick slate hearth in place but will be laying a few slabs down on top and tiling over them to get the look and size we need. But not sure what that is going by the diagrams 500 from jam or 300 from appliance?
also a solid fuel burning stove, is it considered a closed appliance or open with reference to the 300/225mm measurement?
