What’s an inexpensive hearth pad out there (or can be built) with r=1.0?
I only need this for two seasons.

Just stack cement board to meet the required r value I usually top that off with a sheet of galvanized

My local multibrand stove dealer said I could not use a carpet, anything mobile, as part of the hearth to make clearances. I dunno if that is state or federal, though it does make common sense. Cement board with a few screws outside the minimums with something cosmetic on it should check all the boxes indeed.
A carpet is absolutely not acceptable even just for ember protection. But a hearth pad that isn't attached is perfectly fine. The stove is sitting on it so it's not going anywhere

True I was just going by the op saying hearth pad not extension. Then if it is a hearth extension for a fireplace you have the issue of if it is permanent it needs to meet code for a fireplace.
There are allot of factors
I only need the hearth pad for the floor
For the walls I’m going to go a corrugated metal wall like this

Metal Roofing as Wall Protection
Greeting fellow burners! I finally bought me an Englander 30-NCH last week. I'm planning to install it in a situation where it's on a concrete slab and nothing within 4 feet of the front, rear, or one side of the stove. The other side, however, I'm wanting to install 16" off of a finished wall...

To tell you the truth it has that industrial look about it and I kind of like it and I would extend that metal on the whole wall and put spacers in it for air circulation behind with keeping in minds all the safety codes and clearances. Now for the hearth pad I would just have a stone floor or just put some concrete in that area of the floor--I like the raising of the stove for easier loading as well and also some protection against flood if that is in your area. I like it..clancey

This is a hunting cabin so wife approved not necessary. The plan was to have the corrugated tin panels go up the wall with ceramic spacers.
And now seems like I will simply lay enough durarock on the floor with a sheet of 22ga stainless steel (which I already have) on top of that to protect from embers and ease clean up.
I have another month or two before I can fire my stove up (it’s still mid 90s here) so I have time.
