Yes but that is for a hearth extension for a wood burning fireplace not a hearth for a wood stove. That requirement is set by the stove manufacturer. This manufacturer only requires ember protection. The problem I see is that the tile is just on wood. That means if there are any cracks in the grout you dont have complete ember protection. So no unless there is a sheet of metal under those tile it does not meet the requirements.Hearth extensions shall be of masonry or concrete at least 2 inches (51 mm) thick and supported by noncombustible materials and reinforced to carry its own weight and all imposed loads.
Two bibles: local ordinances and the manufacturer's requirements.
Actually three if you count my own advice Ember protection is usually stated as 16" from the door in the US. Please add two inches, as is the standard in Canada. I've got a few melt spots in my carpet to back myself up....
Good one.Embers in the US are not allowed to jump any farther than 16 inches,,,that's part of the rules.
