Floor Protection
Floor thermal insulation/protection with an R value of 2.8 is required if the unit is raised 0 to 6" (152 mm) measured from the bottom of the appliance.
Thermal floor protection is not required when unit is raiser greater than 6" (152 mm) measured from the bottom of the appliance.
However ember protection is still required. Non-combustible material such as brick, tile, concrete board, etc. or certified to UL-1618 Type 1 or as defined by
local codes. Type 1 Hearth pad extensions typically provide protection from embers only, but won't provide thermal protection from the heat of the appliance.
Please check to ensure that your floor protection and hearth will meet the standards for clearance to combustibles. Your hearth extension must be made
from a non-combustible material extending 16" (406 mm) for US and 18" (457 mm) for Canada—measured from the fuel loading door.
