Product Description

The IMPERIAL MFG GROUP USA INC BM0408 is a Type 2 Thermal Stove and Wall Board designed to protect floors and walls from radiant heat generated by wood-burning stoves and similar solid-fuel appliances. Measuring 28 inches by 32 inches, this floor protector is constructed from non-combustible materials and carries a woodgrain finish suited for residential installs where aesthetics matter alongside code compliance. It meets ASTM E162 and ASTM E136 standards, confirming its suitability as a tested thermal barrier. Installers and service technicians working with freestanding wood stoves, pellet stoves, or similar heating appliances will find this board a straightforward, compliant solution for hearth-pad requirements.

This stove board is intended for use as a floor or wall protector beneath and around freestanding wood-burning or solid-fuel stoves in residential settings. It is commonly installed during new appliance setup or as a retrofit when a home inspection or insurance review identifies the need for a compliant hearth surface. The woodgrain surface finish allows it to blend with standard flooring without requiring additional covering. A single unit covers the 28-inch by 32-inch footprint and ships as one piece, making it manageable for a one-person install.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a certified hearth technician or qualified installer familiar with local building codes and appliance clearance requirements referenced in NFPA 211. Ensure the stove is fully cooled and the appliance is not in operation before placing or repositioning the board. Verify required clearance-to-combustibles distances per the stove manufacturer instructions before finalizing placement. Do not cut or modify the board in ways that would compromise its tested non-combustible performance.
