Floor getting hot

[Brican]

Hi all, we have installed a Regency U39 gas stove on a hearth pad as pictured.
The problem is that the wood floor in front of the stove is hitting 95-100F in a short time and we are anticipating severe drying and checking that we need to avoid.
Has anyone seen something like a low (~12") freestanding heat deflector that we could sit in front of the stove to deflect the heat up or anything of the sort or has anyone else experienced the same issue and come up with a solution other than this.
We would sure like to avoid extending the hearth pad if at all possible but as last resort will go that route.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
Cheers

That temp is well within safe temps in most cases. Maybe a simple hearth rug of sorts will lower it a bit and keep moisture from leaving?

That unit doesn't require any floor protection, in fact, if you install the small cover to seal the hole in the very base of the pedestal,
it can sit on a carpet. Like the Bossman indicated, those temps are nothing to be alarmed about...

I put a small throw rug in front of mine. To keep the radiant heat from the glass to protect the new carpet in front of stove. You can find them all most any ware.. It works really good.
