I posted a video of my stove on YouTube and a Hearth.com member commented on the video that I may not have adequate protection for my floor.
I have an Englander 12-FP. All my clearances are fine. The question is regarding floor protection.
I purchased the stove and materials 2 years ago, but only recently installed it and have been using it for 2 months now with great results.
The "pad" lies directly on my wood laminate flooring. I never received any literature with the pad, but my receipt indicates it's a "Guardian PG-F4842B1". It is 1.5" thick and is lined with a woven, fibrous material resembling that of my stove door gasket. An online search revealed an identical model number on the first page of this newsletter: http://www.northweststoves.ca/pdf/newsletters/07-1212.pdf
I also got a hit on this which appears to be identical to my pad: http://www.9918.info/trade_b2b/product/black-embershield-hearth-protection-105279309.html
My Englander stove literature indicates an R-rating of at least 2 is required. I have no idea what the R-rating of this pad/board is and I have been unsuccessful at finding any literature about it.
Please help!
