Go back to your Mansfield manual and read further: "An acceptable floor protector is a 3/8” (10 mm) minimum
thickness non-combustible or listed floor protector with an “R” factor of 1.0."

That's not much of an R factor. The Hearthstone Homestead I'm considering with 6" legs requires an R-factor of 2.4, and with 4" legs that jumps up to R - 6.6 !!
