Imperial Mfg BM0409 Stove Board Floor Protector 32x42

Product Description

The IMPERIAL MFG GROUP USA INC BM0409 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 32 inches by 42 inches, this floor protector is constructed from non-combustible materials and carries a woodgrain finish. It complies with ASTM E162 and ASTM E136 standards, making it suitable for code-required floor protection installations. At 17 pounds, the board is sized for standard residential stove setups and is typically handled and installed by hearth installers, HVAC technicians, or experienced DIYers working on solid-fuel heating system installs.

This stove board is intended for use as a floor or wall protector beneath and around freestanding wood-burning stoves in residential settings. It is installed on combustible flooring surfaces where a clearance reduction or protective barrier is required by the appliance manufacturer or local building code. The woodgrain surface finish allows the board to blend into typical home interiors while still meeting non-combustible material requirements for hearth pad applications.
