Hey Folks,
On to the wood burner now! Question relates to the constructional hearth and what is referred to the Visual Warning Area - from what I gather this is usually the raised area around the stove, usually made of slate etc.
We have the constructional hearth in which is 1m x 1m, this was done before the UFH pipes were installed for obvious reasons. However I am concerned this will be quite small to sit a wood burning stove plus all the other utensils etc.
Given we have UFH pipes around the 1m x 1m area can the VWA (slate slab) be wider than the construction hearth beneath and partially cover some UFH pipes?
The screed is to be poured on top of the pipes obviously with the wooden shutters to construct the hearth.
I have uploaded an image for reference!
thanks
