Tulikivi installation requirements

Foundation

• The air duct of any optional outside air kit will be installed through the foundation, and will bring the outside air below the ash box of the fireplace. The foundation must be level, straight and even and made of concrete. The concrete must be cured before the installation of the fireplace.

• The foundation must be insulated against moisture from the ground. The foundation must be smooth and level to within a tolerance of ± 1mm across the width and length of the fireplace. Corrections of 1-4 mm in height can be made using metal strips, otherwise the foundation must be leveled out with a suitable grout and allowed to cure before the installation.

• The foundation must be able to support the weight of the fireplace, benches and flue without buckling (approx. 1 ton per m2.) Reinforcements must be made if necessary. The foundation must have the same dimensions as the fireplace’s footprint or 50 – 100 mm bigger.

• The fireplace will be installed level with the finished floor. Accommodate for the height of the flooring material (tiling, parquet, etc.). Tiling can be done before or after the installation of the fireplace. Below the fireplace, there must be no floor heating, air or smoke ducts, water pipes, electric wiring, compressible insulation, etc.
