Currently I have a "factory" made sheet metal over a substrate type of stoveboard under my pellet stove. It was something temporary until I can come up with something that looks a bit better.
I'm considering constructing a slightly raised hearth with tile on the top, similar to a few I've seen photos of in these forums. I got wondering if I construct it myself whether there would be any issues with inspection or the insurance company having the pellet stove directly on the tile surface, or do I have to have an approved stoveboard atop this sort of DIY hearth, which would take away from the appearance of a nice hearth?
I notice this stoveboard from Amazon has UL Approval.....
