Hi, I have a question regarding passing Wett installation requirements for Canada.
I have a raised hearth byeond 3.5". The installation requirement states:
Thermal fl oor protection is not required if the unit is
raised 3.5" minimum (measured from the bottom of
the stove). However, standard ember fl oor protection
is required. It will need to be a non-combustible
material that covers 16" (406 mm) in the US and
18" (450 mm) in Canada to the front of the unit and
8" (200 mm) to the sides.
Does this standard ember floor protection needs to be permanently installed to the floor or can it be removable when not in use. I didn't want to destry my hardwood flooring.
If there are Wett inspectors out there who can adivse, it would be greatly appreciated.
