CORNER FLOOR PROTECTORS (Hearths)
While the information in the previous section details the MINIMUM size of floor protector necessary
to comply with the Safety Standards, it may often be desirable to use a somewhat larger size for
aesthetic reasons. A particular example is when the woodfire is installed diagonally in a corner. A
neater appearance will result if the floor protector is carried right into the corner and is shaped as
shown below. The chart facilitates calculation of the MINIMUM dimensions required for floor
protectors of this shape. Minimum allowable values for dimension ‘E’ are given in the tables on pages
4 and 5.

Your measurement ‘E’ must be added to ‘X’ and ‘Y’ to find the appropriate minimum overall
floor protector dimensions.
See page 4 or 5 for minimum values of ‘E’.
† Increase ‘Y’ by 120mm if the floor protector top is not at least 50mm above the floor.
