I have a wood pellet stove and want to put a stove board under it. I see there are two types of boards, Type I and Type II. What is the difference? I see they are only 5/8” thick. Does that offer enough protection if the pad will be on top of a plywood surface?

Answer:
The answer to your question all depends on your stove and what the manufacturer of it requires. As far as the types are concerned, Type I boards are ember protectors only. They keep embers from landing on an adjacent combustible surface. Type II boards offer thermal protection in addition to ember protection. These boards have a higher R value.By Nick on November 9, 2012
I have an antique parlor stove & will required a stove board 6' x 6' square. Do you carry anything in this size & if so, is it UL listed & what is the R rating?

Answer:
Unfortunately, the largest square pre-manufactured stove boards that we carry measure 48" x 48". This is because shipment of anything larger than this would have to be done by a specialty freight carrier. Most floor protection that is larger than this would need to be custom made on site, utilizing concrete board and tile or an equivalent noncombustible material.By Paul on November 9, 2012
I need a floor pad measuring 48 x 60. I don't see that as a specific size. Do you have something close?
on November 9, 2012
Answer:
While we do offer 48" x 48" and 36" x 52" boards, we do not carry anything that is larger than these dimensions. This is largely due to the shipping limitations of boards that are any larger than this. Most larger hearth pads must be site built out of concrete board and a ceramic tile or brick of your choosing.By Loretta on November 9, 2012
We just bought a an antique parlor stove & code requires 18" of space around the stove itself. I'm looking for a stove board that would be 5-1/2' square. Largest size I see you have is 4 x 4.
Can you help me please?

Answer:
Unfortunately, you are correct. We do not currently carry a stove board larger than 48" square. Further, we do not customize any of our products. We apologize for the inconvenience.By Judy from Madras, OR on November 30, 2012
Can I just order the framework for the hearth pad, so I can put my own tile in it?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on December 3, 2012
Answer:
Unfortunately, no. The metal frames for the hearth pads we sell are cut and welded together on site by the manufacturer. It would be necessary to purchase angled steel to construct your own frame or have a local fabricator cut the steel components to the required size so that they could be screwed or welded together on site.By Karen Walker from Washington, DC on February 26, 2013
Do you make/sell hearth boards (48 X 48) with an R Factor equal to or greater than 2?
