CORNER HEARTHS
•
While the information in the previous section details the MINIMUM size of hearth
necessary to comply with the Safety Standards, it will frequently be desirable to use a
somewhat larger area of hearth for xsthetic considerations. A particular example is
when the woodfire is installed diagonally in a corner. A neater appearance will result if
the hearth is carried right into the corner and is shaped as shown below. The chart
facilitates calculation of the MINIMUM dimensions required for hearths of this shape.
The minimum allowable values for dimension 'E' are given in the tables on pages 5 and
6. If 'E' is greater than the minimum value, naturally the overall hearth size
requirements increase accordingly.
