I am installing my new Englander NC 13. Combustible floor protection of a 2 R-Value.
Plywood Floor
Backer board (.2) Hardibacker 4 x 8 sheets)
Steel 2X4
3 layers of .5" Drywall (1.35)(.45 each)
2 Backer board (.4)
Ceramic Tile (,02)
Total R-value 1.97
I this overkill? or not enough?
I am sure that the steel studs/air has some R-value but it is not listed on the sweeps library chart. I would prefer to forgo the drywall.
It seems that I am in a desert of micore dealers unless Lowes/HD carries it under a different name.
