HY-C Steel Stove Board

Yes, this board is designed for dual-purpose use. It functions effectively as a hearth extender to protect flooring in front of your stove or as a wall shield to protect surfaces behind wood, gas, or pellet stoves.

This certification confirms that the board has been rigorously tested to meet specific safety standards for thermal protection. It ensures the board provides the necessary non-combustible barrier against heat, hot coals, and embers required for safe stove operation.

The R-value measures the material's thermal resistance. An R-value of 1.56 indicates the board provides a solid layer of insulation, but you should always check your specific stove manufacturer's manual to ensure this rating meets the clearance requirements for your particular heating appliance.

At 26.5 pounds, the board has significant weight, but it is generally recommended to secure it properly if you are using it as a wall shield. For floor applications, its weight helps it sit flat, but you may want to consider securing it if there is any risk of it shifting.

Because this board is constructed with a 1/2-inch thick steel face and a specialized fiber board backing, it is not designed to be cut or modified. It is best to measure your space carefully before purchasing to ensure the 48-inch by 36-inch dimensions fit your needs.
