FLOOR PROTECTOR

Your wood stove should be placed on a 1 inch, non-combustible surface with a k factor of 0.84. For

multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine the overall R-value. The R value for the

requiredboardis1.2.Ifthereisahorizontalsectionofchimneyconnector,theoorprotectorshould

go under it and 2 inches beyond each side

ConvertspecicationtoR-value:

k-factor is given with a required thickness (T) in inches: R=1/k x T

C-factor is given: R=1/C

Example:

 If the oor protector is 4” brick with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a “k”

factor of 0.29 the total R-value of the system is:

4” brick C=1.25, R=1/1.25=0.8

 1/8”mineralboardK=0.29,R=1/0.29x0.125=0.431

Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral = 0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231

Total R is greater than 1.2, the system is acceptable.

Theoorprotectorshouldexceedthestoveasfollows:
