FLOOR PROTECTION
NOTE:  In Canada, fl oor protection 
must extend 18" (450mm) to 
the front and 8" (200mm) to 
each side and back of the 
stove.

How To Determine If Alternate Floor Protection Materials Are Acceptable
The specifi ed  fl oor protector should be 3/8" 
(18mm) thick material with a K - factor of 
0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brick 
with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineral 
board with a K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a): 
 
Use formula above to convert specifi cation 
to R-value.
 
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.
Step (b): 
 
Calculate R of proposed system.
 
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
 
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
 
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore 
Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431
 
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =
 
0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c): 
 
Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to 
specifi ed R of 0.893. Since proposed system 
R is greater than required, the system is 
acceptable.

A combustible fl oor must be protected by non-combustible material 
(like tile, concrete board, or certifi ed to UL-1618 or as defi ned by 
local codes) extending beneath the heater and a minimum of 6" 
from each side and minimum 16" from the front face of the stove 
and minimum 6" (or the rear clearance to combustibles whichever 
is smaller) from the rear of the stove. 
When installed with horizontal venting, non-combustible fl oor 
protection must beneath the fl ue pipe and extend 2" (51mm) 
beyond each side.
A minimum of a 1/2" thick thermal fl oor protector with a 0.84k 
factor is required when installing the standard or optional short 
legs. This applies to both Canada and the US. All other require-
ments (ie. hearth size) remain the same.
