INSTALLING FIREPLACE ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR 
(CONTINUED)
This hearth extension must be either 6" (minimum) thick stone or brick; a H1652 (400 units) or H2066 (500 units) Hearth 
Extension Kit; or a locally constructed hearth that has a “K” factor less than .43 and at least ½" thick. For other non-com-
bustibles, the total thickness minimum is 1.16 times its thermal conductivity (K). 
The following relations could be useful —  
Minor  shifting  of  the  supporting  floor  or 
expansion  and  contraction  may  eventually 
cause a crack to develop between the hearth 
extension and the face of the fireplace with 
either type hearth extension. To help prevent 
the cracking, firmly fasten the hearth extension 
materials in place. Screw wall ties to the face of 
the fireplace. Imbed the wall ties in the mortar 
joints of brick, stone, or other non-combustible 
materials. 
Place  metal  safety  strip  packed  with  the 
fireplace beneath the fireplace. Extend metal 
safety strip under the hearth extension or into 
a mortar joint of the hearth. See Figures 6 
through 9. If a crack does eventually develops, 
the metal safety strip will prevent sparks or 
embers from falling from the fireplace onto 
combustible flooring materials.

C = K divided by the material thickness
(Example C = .43 divided by 1/2 (.50)
        C = .86)
K = C multiplies by the material thickness
(Example K = .86 multiplied by 1/2 (.50)
        K = .43)
R = The material thickness divided by K
(Example R = 1/2 (.50) divided by .43
        R = 1.16)
C = Thermal Conductant
R = Thermal Resistance
