    Hearths: Hothouse stoves require a 125mm thick non-combustible constructional hearth beneath them to protect the building, this can include any solid non-combustible floor. A non-combustible superimposed hearth forming an apron of at least 225mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either side must also be provided. The superimposed hearth must not be less than 12mm thick and must have a clearly defined edge (change of level) to discourage placing of any combustible materials on or partially over it.

    Link Up: On heating and hot water installations, a semi-pumped system should be used to the central heating system with gravity circulation to the hot water cylinder. For optimum performance of the boiler we recommend that all 4 tappings are used when using separate gravity and pumped heating loops. The flow and return pipes should be taken from diagonally opposite sides of boiler.
