Quadra Fire Isle Royal install

[Libber]

Hello,

We finally purchased a wood stove after searching for many months on craigslist. It's an 2008 isle royal that is in perfect condition for 800.00! It was only used for 1 season. Love craigslist!! Just a quick question about floor protection. The stove will be used in a 400 sq. ft. sunroom with all large ceramic floor tiles, no carpet at all. It will be a corner install. Do we still need an an addition floor protector, even though the entire floor is non-combustible?

Thank you!

Does the manual state any required r-value for the hearth?

What materials are under the tile? I assume some sort of self leveling concrete over durock or something similar, and then plywood subfloor under that?

If your manual states a specific r-value needed, you can look up the r values for tile, durock, etc on the hearth wiki to make sure you meet the requirement between the stove and the plywood subfloor.

I don't see anything about an r value anywhere. The sunroom is on a poured concrete slab.

In that case, even if there is an r-value requirement, there is nothing combustable under the tile.

You've got it made!

Thank you for the response, I know it sound like a stupid question since everything is non-combustabe, but don't want to just assume anything when it comes to proper installation
