Hi all,
We're currently remodeling a house and are trying to figure out what to do for a hearth pad under our Avalon AVH1000 wood stove. It was discontinued and I can't find much information about it online (and the sticker with all the specs is pretty much unreadable).
Originally, the stove was set on tile that was directly on the plywood subfloor without any metal heat shield or concrete backer board and without being built up on a raised hearth.
We are replacing the old flooring (carpet and the tile mentioned above) with Duravana Hybrid Resilient flooring throughout.
We would like to put a granite slab under the stove. Can this be put directly on the new flooring? Should we put it on the plywood subfloor instead? Do we need a metal heat shield and/or concrete backer underneath? Would it help to put the stove on a heat shield pan that sits on top of the granite? Feeling at a loss because there is so little info about this stove.
Thanks for any help.
