Sliding Stove

[Wooden Head]

I have put new porcelain tile floor in my basement, When I installed my Quadrafire Santa Fe on the floor it easily slide on the porcelain surface. Any suggestions on stopping this?

Hey Wooden Head, I would think a few wooden shims would solve the problem easily...I would think that any tiny exposed piece could be painted to match the floor coloring. I’m sure you will get a bunch of neat ideas....Bill

Could a piece of rubber be put at the corners edge of stove where it isn't as hot work?

I thought about some shims but not sure if they would hold and not slide. Also was thinking about a anti-slip rug mat.
Keep the suggestion coming.

I also think small pieces of rubber under the feet. Not very noticeable, either.

That's what I was thinking. But, it has no feet. The bottom is part of the chassis.

How about putting a square of rubber under the stove at each corner?

How about some epoxy. Make things a little more permanent.

Or, tip it up and apply a bead of silicone in strategic areas. If you want, let it cure, the repeat on opposite side. Otherwise, seat when wet. You'll be able to pry it lose with a stiff putty knife.
