No. I use it to contain debris from wood handling as well as preventing a hot coal or 3 from bouncing off my flush stone hearth and burning my wood floor.

One should not do that. They’re meant to help if a log or embers come out of stove. That said, they still are affected by embers,etc. They’re not meant to serve as radiant heat protection or non combustible surface for “ember protection only” stoves.
A hearth pad is supposed to be a permanent fixture which a rug is not. We have one, but it is after the end of the hearth which is 17" from the stove glass. It's mainly to catch wild ember pops and as a cozy spot for the cat.
