You may decrease these clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the
ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can
include sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall.
Following the installation of such a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on
the stove certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table.
