We would recommend keeping any heat source 1m away from the board surface, non-combustible materials should be used in these areas. In instances where there is burning wood or coal, they will need to sit the fire bowl \/ brazier onto a porcelain or cement tile \/ slab. The slabbed area needs to extend about 1m outside the fire bowl \/ brazier. Any embers or burning material needs to be removed immediately to prevent any damage or lasting marks to the Millboard surface. Patio heaters or infra red heaters are not known to affect the boards.","inLanguage":"en-GB"},"inLanguage":"en-GB"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=563"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/563\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":564,"href":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/563\/revisions\/564"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.millboard.com\/en-ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
