Regardless of the installation type, there must be at least 8" (203 mm) on each side of the
fireplace door opening (C).
Floor protection must be a continuous non-
combustible surface such as ceramic, concrete
board, brick or other equivalent material approved
as floor protection. If the ceramic is used, it must
be placed on a continuous non-combustible panel
to prevent spills from being brought into contact
with the floor through cracks or gaps in the ceramic
slurry. Alternatives approved by the local building
code may also be used.
Do not leave carpets under the floor protection.
