3.2 HEARTH EXTENSION/FLOOR PROTECTION
Hearth extensions/floor protection must be made of non-combustible materials. They must meet the
following specifications:
Minimum extension to the front of the insert:
- Canada: 18" (45.7cm)
- USA: 16" (40.6cm)
Minimum 8" (203mm) extension to th �sides of the insert
Minimum 0.5" (13mm)thickness
• Minimum (K`) 0.84 thermal conductivity factor; and
Minimum (R*) 0.59 resistance value
See chart below for more information.
CONVERTING MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS TO R OR K VALUES
R = Thickness/K-Value
K = Thickness/R-Value
a, ON
MATERIAL K-VALUE R-VALUE
Per inch Per inch
Micore 300 0.43 2.33
Wonderboard (cemeri. board) 1.92 0.52
Common Brick 5.00 0.20
Cement Mortar 5.00 0.20
Ceramic Tile 12.50 0.08
Marble 11.00 0.09
Air Space (ventilate-" 0.70 1.43
Sand and Gravel 1.70 0.59
Drywall (gypsum) 1.00 1.00
Rockwool or Fiberglass Batts 0.30 3.33
With K values, the lower value is 3 better insulator. With R values, the higher number is better.
K-Value Example:
A wood stove may call for thermal protection which has a K factor of 1 or less.A product
such as Micore 300 Board from USG has a K-Value of approximately .43 per inch.
Therefore, a 1/2" (12.7~ i)thickness of this board would have a K-Value of.86, which
meets the requirement " our example stove.
R-Value Example:
This fireplace calls for thermal protection with an R-Value of 0.59. This same board
above is rated as having an R-Value of 2.33 for a 1" (25.4mm)thickness. Therefore,
1/2" (12.7mm) of the Mic.)re 300 Board would have a R-value of 1.165, which meets
the specifications for this fireplace.

(flue cover). Cut a 6" (152.4mm) hole to lie directly below the fireplace flue opening. Allow 2" (50.8mm)
of material on all sides(to act as flanges)and cut to these measurements. Bend down the flanges.
TIP: If inexperienced in doing this, make and test a cardboard pattern first.
Fasten this flue cover in position a s high as possible. Using 2 masonry screws per side, insert them
through the flanges into the fireplace.
C. Permanently seal any openings between the fireplace masonry and the facing masonry.
In..Canada:This fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6" (152.4mm)diameter
extending from the fireplace insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to the Class 3
requirements of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys
and Vents, or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys. It must be installed as
