Custom Steel Hearth Pads

Most stoves today don’t need thermal protection from the heat they produce, but they still need a non-combustible surface underneath them. The required size of that floor protection is different for every stove model, depending on the stove’s size and its required clearances.

Our hearth pads are thin 16-gauge steel: simple, sleek and modern. They’re easy to clean and sweep, with no grout lines and no adhesives, and they can sit right on carpet or a wood floor. No more tripping or stubbing your toe.

Two Finishes

Hot Roll Steel, UnpaintedThe raw, dark steel look with its natural mill finish and character. Warm and industrial, it suits both rustic mountain homes and modern interiors.
Powder CoatedA durable baked-on finish in the color you choose, so the pad can match your stove, floor or trim. Tough, uniform and easy to wipe clean.

Made to Your Stove’s Exact Dimensions

Every pad is built to order. We size it to the specific floor protection dimensions your stove model calls for, so it covers exactly what’s required with nothing wasted and nothing missing.

  • Built to the floor protection size in your stove’s installation manual
  • Square, rectangular or corner (pentagon) shapes
  • Thin 16-gauge steel that lies flat on carpet or hardwood
  • No grout, no tile, no adhesives

Floor Protection Dimensions

The pad has to extend a set distance beyond the stove on each side and in front of the loading door. Those distances come from the stove manufacturer’s installation manual. The typical U.S. numbers look like this:

WALL HEARTH PAD STOVE loading door 8" 8" 16" in front
WhereTypical requirement
In front of the loading door16" (18" for some models and in Canada)
Each side of the door opening8"
Behind the stovePad runs to the wall or past the stove per the manual
Under a horizontal connectorSome manuals require protection under the pipe and 2" beyond each side
Always confirm with your manual. These are common numbers, not a rule for every stove. Your stove’s installation manual has the exact floor protection size and whether the pad only needs ember protection or also a thermal (R-value) rating. We build to the manual.
