-Placement-
The heat shield should ideally cover the entire underside of the mantel.
Recommended distances from heat source to allow for adequate air flow and adhere to current UK building regs.
300mm from inset/cassette stoves, but may be reduced to 250mm if appliance manufacture guidance allows.
or
1.5x the diameter of a wood burner flue. For example, a 4-inch flue would require a distance of 150mm or a 5-inch would require 190mm, etc. The flue is considered a heat source (unless insulated), so the mantel should be placed at a distance, diagonally or vertically measured from the flue to the underside of the mantel shield.
Current building regs stipulate that unshielded mantels require 450mm+ clearance or 3x the flue diameter, so our shielded versions allow around 50% reduction.
Note: the above is based on UK building regulation guidance and top brand stove manufactures recommendations. You should always refer to your specific appliance manufacturers' guidance for safe clearances to heat shield/deflector mantels.
