FREESTANDING FLOOR PROTECTION

The 25-EP requires a non-combustible floor protector if the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor. If the floor the stove is be installed on is already non-combustible (i.e. a concrete floor in a basement), no floor protection is needed (although a decorative floor protector can still be used for aesthetic reasons).

When using any floor protector, consider that this stove is not only heavy but will induce heating and cooling cycles on the floor protector which can damage tile and loosen mortar and grout joints.

The floor protector should be UL approved or equivalent and must only be noncombustible. Since the majority of the radiant heat from this unit is projected forward, the floor protector only serves to keep ashes and sparks from landing on combustible flooring near the unit. A hearth rug is NOT an approved substitute for a proper hearth extension pad.

The floor protector must extend at least 6 in. (152.4 mm) from the front, sides and rear of the 25-EP, as shown in the diagram below:

In the USA, it is not required that the non-combustible floor protector extends beneath the venting system, but is highly recommended.

In Canada, it is required that the non-combustible floor protector is underneath and extends 2 in. (50.8 mm.) on either side of any horizontal venting runs AND/OR is directly underneath any vertical venting pipe.
