5.4.2. STUD WALL FOR WALLS THAT NEED PROTECTION
-
When installing the open fireplace on a wall that needs protec-
tion, a stud wall is required. The stud wall has to protrude at
least 20 cm over the connecting piece.
-
A stud wall is not necessary if the building wall:
- is at least 11.5 cm thick
- consists of non-combustible construction materials
- is not a load-bearing concrete or reinforced concrete wall
-
The stud wall can be built in a traditional manner, e.g. made of
bricks, or can consists of thermal insulation sheets as menti-
oned above. This significantly reduces the overall construction
depth, which consists of the stud wall and insulation.
5.6. FLEXIBLE GROUTING BETWEEN FACING AND INSERT
A direct link between the fireplace insert and the facing is not al-
lowed. Plan to use flexible grouting that will be sealed by sealing
band, for example. Please note: a minimum distance of 6 mm has
to exist between the door frame and the fireplace hood or the in-
stallation frame, in order to disassemble the fireplace insert door as
required (e.g. replacement viewing pane).
5.7. FIREPLACE HOOD
A fireplace hood may never be directly connected to the fireplace
insert. It must bear itself after being set up. See „Facing" section
for the additional requirements. Please note: a minimum distance of
6 mm has to exist between the door frame and the fireplace hood or
the installation frame, in order to disassemble the fireplace insert
door as required (e.g. replacement viewing pane).
5.5.
SPECIAL MEASURE FOR FIRE PREVENTION FOR
HARDWOOD MANTELS
1
The beam has to be located outside of the radiation area.
2
The ventilated distance must be 1 cm or a dimensionally stable
insulation sheet with a thickness of approx. 2 cm has to be attached
below the beam.
3
The gap between the inner edge of the combustion gas manifold
and the mantel has to be at least 16.5 cm.
