Floor protection is not necessary (however this is
recommended).
Floor coverings if used eg carpet, timber, vinyl must
be trimmed to the above minimum clearances.
This can only be achieved using the
beneath the firebox and 75mm
Woodtex floor protector in front to minimum depth.
The combination of these two plus tiles / slate etc
totals a 90mm height for the floor protector. Please
refer below separate page on installation requirements.
