Page 23: Hearth Protection Pad Requirements
• To achieve this required R-rating, Mendota strongly suggests that you employ ½” thick mineral/ceramic board as the base substrate on top of the combustible floor construction or combustible raised hearth structure before you place additional finishing materials or natural stone products to achieve an R-1.0 minimum rating. Refer to the R- Rating specification tables in this manual. -
Page 24: Framing Depth And Finishing Guides
Mendota strongly recommends not using mortar blends with polymer additives or any premix mastics or any adhering compounds with chemical base such as PL construction adhesives or silicone. Use of these products will cause a high likelihood of offgasing odors. -
