FLOOR PROTECTION
This pellet stove requires a non‐combustible floor protector if the stove is to be installed on
a combustible floor. If the floor the stove is to be installed on is already non‐combustible
(i.e. a concrete floor in a basement) and has an R value equal to or higher than .2, no floor
protection is needed (although a decorative floor protector can still be used for aesthetic
reasons).
Prefabricated floor protectors which are UL listed (ULC if Canada) or equivalent can be
purchased or a floor protector can be built from standard materials; two sheets of .5” thick
cement board covered with ceramic tile would be a suitable floor protector which meets
the .2 R‐value requirement.
When using any floor protector, consider that this stove is not only heavy but will induce
heating and cooling cycles on the floor protector which can damage tile and loosen mortar
and grout joints. A hearth rug is NOT an approved substitute for a proper hearth pad.
For the US: The floor protector must extend at least 6 in. (152.4 mm) from the front & sides
and 4 in. (101.6 mm) from the rear.
For Canada: The floor protector must extend at least 18.0 in. (457.2 mm) from the front of
the unit, 8.0 in. (203.2 mm) from the sides of the unit and 4.0 in. (101.6 mm) from the rear.
In Canada, it is required that the non‐combustible floor protector is underneath and
extends 2 in. (50.8 mm.) on either side of any horizontal venting runs AND/OR is directly
underneath any vertical venting pipe.
