Pay attention to ventilation around appliance;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nFrequently asked questions on minimum distance from combustible materials (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWhat is the minimum distance between a wood stove and a wall?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the model, this is usually between *20 and 30 centimetres*. Always consult the manual of your specific device for exact values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are wooden floors allowed under a stove?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
No, unless a non-combustible floor plate such as steel, glass or stone is used that extends at least *30 cm all around* from the appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is there any difference between pellet stoves and wood stoves in terms of distance?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Yes, pellet stoves generally produce less radiant heat, allowing them to be placed closer to walls - sometimes as little as *10 cm*. Nevertheless, caution is still required!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does a heat shield allow me to install closer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes it does. An approved heat shield with air cavity can allow you to *50% less* distance. However, this should be explicitly stated in technical documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Does compliance also reduce insurance premiums?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Some insurers offer discounts if it is shown that installations have been professionally carried out according to standards. Check with your company!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
