Hello all,
I wondered if someone can give me a bit of a pointer with regards to the building regs for hole in the wall fires.
In the instructions for most of the models we've looked at the manufacturer state the hole must be a minimum of 300mm above the floor...so I assume that must be the regulation.
That seems pretty straight forward to me, but the fire we've decided upon doesn't have that sitipulation (although the info available is limited).

My question is, is the height measured from the floor to the bottom of the visible opening of the fire, or from the floor to the base of fire's surround / casing?
The fire in the link has a much smaller opening than surrounding casing so I would like to know the correct point of reference. (I'm hoping its the opening height as that means it'll fit in our existing hole). Certainly from looking at the picture on the manufactures website the fire only looks about a foot up from the floor.
Thanks in advance for your help
