For a deeper combustible shelf you will need to increase this clearance (see instructions). Ventilation: Purpose provided ventilation (air brick) is not normally required.

The traditional 16"X22" opening is suitable. A 20mm deep spacer frame is available for use in shallow fire openings or to enable installation into low temperature fire surround packages. The required minimum depth of the fire opening may vary. This is due to the safety zone behind the fire having to be larger for flues that have previously used for solid fuel fires.
