My sisters and I just sold our dad's old house and it is being demolished for a new house on the lot. It has a full brick chimney and also a brick facade. I wonder if it would be possible to take some of the brick from the old place and use it for a stove pad here. I haven't really given it much thought but maybe you guys could tell me if it's even feasible as far as R value and such. I guess the carpet would be cut out and the brick laid on the sub floor. Just a thought. It would be as much for sentimental value than anything.
Well, I just looked up the r value of common brick and apparently it's only .8 per 4" side, so it would take 8" high to make r1.5. Well, that's doable I guess and a raised hearth may be convenient anyway. I'll go ahead and post this in can anyone has some ideas.
