There should be at least 2" (50 mm) between the wall of non-combustible material
and the stove.
Safety distances can be reduced by using protective screens made of
non-combustible material. The single-layer light protective screen allows to reduce
the safety distances by 50% and the double light protective screen by up to 75%.
The protective screen is included in the safety distance, which means that the
distance is measured to the flammable material, not to the protective screen.
There should be a gap of at least 2" (50 mm) between the protective screen and
the sauna stove.
The safety distance between the sauna stove and the ceiling can be reduced by
25% by using the single protective screen. The double protective screen is not
used in the ceiling.
The single light protective screen is made of at least
fibre-reinforced cement board or of at least
attached to the wall. An air gap of at least 1 ³/₁₆" (30 mm) should remain between the
surface to be protected and the protective screen.
The double protective screen can be made of the same materials as mentioned above.
There should be an air gap of at least 1 ³/₁₆" (30 mm) between the protective screen and
the wall. There should be an air gap of at least 1 ³/₁₆" (30 mm) between the protective
screen and the floor and ceiling to ensure adequate air circulation.
ATTENTION!
Before reducing the safety distance, please check the local safety
laws and regulations in your country.
When installing flues, the safety distances specified in the instruction manual of the
respective manufacturer should be followed.
To protect flooring made of combustible material in front of the sauna stove, the sheet
metal plate should be attached to the floor in front of the stove, which extends at least
4" (100 mm) beyond the sides of the door opening of the stove, and at least 15 ³/₄" (400 mm)
in front of the stove. The edge of the plate closest to the stove side should be bent up so
that the coal falling from the sauna stove does not get under the stove. Information on
HUUM floor protection plate (sold separately) has been provided in Appendix 5, page 30.
