Looking at the possibility of installing a PE Vista as one of the options for a stove that will take the least amount of space in my room. The PE manual gives clearances - including to the front of the hearth pad - but does not specify which surfaces require a pad. If the entire floor of the room is ceramic tile on top of 1/2” cement board which is in turn on top of 3/4” plywood, is an additional pad required?

Sounds like the whole floor is an adequate hearth pad for that stove. All it requires is ember protection.
