Wow - what a great idea...or repurpose ..... My most recent hearthpad is a granite table top that was free off Craigslist.
+1. I like my hearth, home built, meets all specs, I modelled it after some of the stove brochures, etc. but if I have a do-over I'll definitely go bigger.Go big. The usa spec of 16" in front of the door opening is about useless. Canada spec i think is 18". I am at 22" now with enough carpet burns to know my next hearth will be up around 40" or so front clearance. Nice warm place to stand when my feet are cold too.
Made me think of my recent visit to Habitat Restore... lots of loose tiles. Some BB stores drop off left over products that they are no longer stocking so you can find good quantities.or repurpose ..... My most recent hearthpad is a granite table top that was free off Craigslist.
So is raised better then flush? I was going flush because I keep thinking I'm going to stub my toe all the time
