Hearth extension or floor protector thickness above four (4) inches is generally not acceptable due to cost, floor
load capacity, and look. The alternate we recommend is using Ceroform No. 126 millboard 1/8” thick minimum
and putting any type decorative brick or stone (any thickness) on top of it.

*The K* factor represents the thermal conductivity of a material and is the time rate of heat flow through a
homogeneous material under steady-state conditions, through unit area, per unit temperature gradient in the
direction perpendicular to a surface
