There are specific floor protectors for parallel and corner installation of Akaroa model. These floor protectors are made of 4mm thick steel with a black powder coat finish.

Hearth Installation for Wood Fires

The location of wood fire and the floor protector/hearth must comply with local council and building regulations.

The steel floor protector along with wood fires should be installed in accordance with the minimum clearances to combustibles indicated in Masport specification sheet that comes with the wood fire pack.

Some councils in New Zealand require the wood fire and the floor protector to be secured to prevent shifting in the event of an earthquake. Installer will have to drill suitable holes, at an appropriated location on the floor protector.
