vents are required for all sizes of stoves, this can apply to new extensions as well. This will depend on the air leakage (air permeability) of your property.Your HETAS installer should be able to guide you on your particular property. In addition a stove should not be fitted in a room with an appliance such as extractor fan, ceiling fan or tumble drier, it will affect the draw of the stove and could lead to fumes entering the room.

3.j Base Heat Shield The temperature at the base of a stove will affect the type of hearth required, see “hearth requirements”. If a constructional hearth is required but is not possible, then a base heat shield can be fitted underneath the stove. This reduces the hearth temperatures and allow the stoves to be installed onto a superimposed (12mm) hearth.
