Wood-burning stove rules

[niklasandersson]

Hello

I am going to install a wood-burning stove and wonder if anyone knows the requirements for non-combustible material in front of the stove.
I am thinking of having a wood-burning stove with tiles in front in a semi-circle about 30 cm from the stove, do you think that's enough?
Ps. I have a guy who installed a stove 5 years ago without anything in front of the stove and the chimney sweep approved it... feels a bit tricky with just wood in front...

Grateful for an answer

Just wood in front won't be so fun if a flea lands there and scorches the wood.

Read Boverket's building regulations, BBR, section 5:4.

Under general advice, it mentions, among other things, 50 cm as the minimum distance from nearby building components and fixed furnishings made of combustible material.

Considering this, it might be good to extend the semicircle to cover 50 cm instead.

Hi

Awesome! Found it seems to work with 30 cm in front if you don't have a fireplace

Thank you!!

You don't dig a rounded glass sheet? OK. Tiles for all they're worth.. just wondering?

The disadvantage of a glass plate is that dirt gets underneath, and you have to lift the stove if you want/need to change the floor. But it can look nice...

Brass plate, that's all I'm saying.

Or maybe titanium?

A small silikonsträng fixes the crap under ...

You have to lift it when changing the floor, but how is dirt supposed to get under? You should seal around with silicone so that water isn't absorbed underneath when washing the floor, and then it is also sealed against dirt. We have a glass panel and are completely satisfied with it. I would never change it for anything else.
