12. Floor protection installation
12.1 Floor protection: When a fireplace is
installed directly on a combustible floor, an
incombustible protection must be placed
underneath and extend around the fireplace (this
includes under the pedestal of the 7100
Fireplace). This protects the floor against the
accidental fall of embers. In order to achieve this,
goal, all joints of the floor protection must be
perfectly adjusted or filled with grout. The floor
protection must extend at least 18" (460 mm) in
front of the fireplace opening and 8" (200 mm) on
each side. The floor protection may consist of:

c) For a temporary floor protection, a sheet
of metal of at least 0.015" (0,38 mm)
thickness or an incombustible composite
cement board of at least 3/8" (10 mm)
thickness may be used.
12.2 Removing the existing resilient flooring:
Before beginning the installation of the floor
protection, remove any existing resilient flooring
(linoleum, carpet, etc.) in order to reach the
wood or concrete sub-flooring. The pedestal of
the 7100 Fireplace must not rest on resilient
flooring.
