The floor
One of the main necessary precautions when installing a wood stove is to leave sufficient space
between the stove (top, sides, back, front, and under stove pipes) and any other material that can
catch fire.
If the stove is to be installed on a combustible floor, it must be placed on a non-combustible hearth
pad, which extends 8" (200mm measured from the legs) beyond the stove sides and back, and 18"
(455mm measured from side and back panels) to the front
NOTE: the floor protection need's only to be a standard ember protection.

In a rear vent installation the floor protection must also extend under the stove pipe a minimum of 2"
(50mm) beyond either side of the pipe.
