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:
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
It is of utmost importance that the clearances to combustible materials be strictly adhered to during
installation of the stove. Refer to the tables below :
• Floor to ceiling height must be at least 7’ (2.13m) in all cases.
• Do not place any combustible material within 4’ (1.2m) of the front of the unit.
• The clearance between the ue pipe and a wall are valid only for vertical walls and for vertical ue pipe.
• The chimney connector must not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, a
oor, or a ceiling.
• For Canadian installations, where passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
• A ue pipe crossing a combustible wall must have a minimum clearance of 18” (457.2mm).
• To reduce ue clearances from combustible materials, contact your local safety department.
