If you are fitting the appliance into an existing hearth setting check
that it complies with the current construction regulations and is at
least the minimum sizes shown.
If you have no existing fireplace or chimney, it is possible
to construct a suitable non-combustible housing and hearth
setting. However, this should be constructed to comply with
the requirements of both current national and local regulations
with the design approved by your local building control officer.
Masonry chimney systems built with clay or concrete liners or
pre-fabricated block systems should be constructed in accordance
with BS 6461 : Part 1. Factory made insulated systems should
comply with BS 4543 : Part 2 and be installed to BS 7566 : Parts
1 to 4.
Remember that any new chimney added to your property may
also require planning permission.
