RI: Where to buy Hearth Pad materials???

[trudd]

Hi everyone. Like the title says, I'm in Rhode Island and having a hard time finding materials for a hearth pad. I need to build a pad with an R value of 1.5. I planned on using Micore or Fibrefrax becuase they have high R values but the Lowes & Home Depots I've checked do not carry it. Any suggestions on where I can find these materails? I'm in northern RI so anything in nearby MASS or CT would be fine too.

Thanks for the help.

I had my local lumber yard/building supply order the Micore for me. The supplier of it out of Portland ME wouldn't sell directly to the customer.

Try Drywall supply houses...
