4. Floor Protection
This stove is meeting the requirements of CAN/ULC-S627 and is suitable for installation on a
combustible floor. However, it must be placed on a non-flammable surface to protect the floor
from hot embers that may fall during loading.
The floor protection must be a continuous, non combustible material, such as steel with a minimum
thickness of 0.015" (0.38 mm) or ceramic tiles sealed together with grout. Cement board, brick, or
any other approved or listed material suited for floor protection. No R factor required.
Any type of tile will require a continuous non combustible sheet beneath to prevent the possibility
of embers falling through to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the
finished surface. Check local codes for approved alternatives. No protection is required if the
unit is installed on a non-combustible floor (ex: concrete).
