3.0 Installation
3.1 Floor
Foundation
You need to make sure the foundation is suitable for a fireplace.
See “2.0 Technical Data” for specified weight.
Requirements for protection of wooden
flooring beneath the fireplace
The Jøtul I
530 FL has a heat shield underneath to protect the
floor from radiated heat. The product can therefore be positioned
directly on a wooden floor that is covered by a sheet of metal or
other non-inflammable material. The recommended minimum
thickness is 0.9 mm. The plate must cover the entire floor surface
within the surround.
We recommend the removal of any flooring that is not attached
to the foundation (“floating floors”) beneath the installation.
Any floor covering of inflammable material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the floor plate.
Requirements for protection of inflammable
floors in front of the fireplace
The floor in front of the fireplace must be protected by a sheet
of metal or other non-inflammable material. The recommended
minimum thickness is 0.9 mm. The floor plate must comply with
national laws and regulations.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
