Hey y'all,
I'm building a hearth pad and would like a sanity check on the following construction.
On top of the hardwood floor, I'm putting down 1/2" plywood, then 5/8" Micore 300, then 1/12" galvanized sheet metal, then 1 3/8" thin brick pavers (no mortar).
I know I'm good with the R-value of the Micore alone as far as heat is concerned (I only need 0.59 for my stove specs).
I figured I could lighten up the hearth pad by omitting a layer of Durock and grout between the sheet metal and brick.
What do you think? Any suggestions?
