What is the 2 + 10 rule for fireplaces?

The 2+10 rule is a safety guideline for wood-burning fireplaces, dictating clearance from combustible materials. Electric fireplaces do not produce open flames or significant heat in the same way, so this rule does not apply to them.

The type of electric fireplace, its size, and the complexity of mounting and electrical work are key. Installing a unit that needs to be recessed into a wall in Suffolk, for example, will differ from a simple wall hang.
