MF Fire Hearth Pads Features Two Protection Levels Available: Choose between Type 1 Hearth Pads for ember protection only, which shield your floor from sparks and hot embers in front of the stove, or Type 2 Hearth Pads that deliver both ember protection AND thermal insulation to reduce heat transfer to combustible flooring. Code-Compliant Floor Protection: Engineered specifically to meet MF Fire stove installation requirements, ensuring your wood stove setup satisfies building codes and safety standards for hearth protection beneath solid-fuel burning appliances. Heavy-Duty 10-Gauge Steel Construction: Type 1 pads are built with 1/8" (10 gauge) steel that resists bowing and warping over time, providing a stable, long-lasting protective surface that maintains its shape under the weight of a fully loaded wood stove. Premium Powder-Coated Finish: Both sides of the Type 1 hearth pads receive a durable powder-coated finish, delivering a clean professional appearance plus added protection against scratches, embers, and everyday wear. Exceeds R-Value Requirements: Type 2 hearth pads (excluding the 54" corner pad) carry an R-value of 2.2, well above MF Fire's minimum thermal protection requirement and more than double the industry-standard 1.0 R-value minimum for Type 2 hearth protection. Four Stylish Color Options: Available in Black (Type 1), Volcanic Sand (Type 2), Imperial Black (Type 2), and Desert Storm (Type 2), letting you coordinate floor protection with your stove finish and complement your home's interior décor. Multiple Size & Configuration Choices: Select from 44" Standard, 48" Corner, 54" Corner, or 64" x 43" Standard configurations to perfectly fit your installation layout, whether you're placing your stove against a wall or tucked into a corner. Low-Profile Design: The sleek, low-profile construction minimizes tripping hazards and visual bulk while still delivering full code-compliant protection beneath and around your Nova Series wood stove. Compatible with the Entire Nova Series: Purpose-designed for MF Fire Nova, Nova 2, Nova Tower, Nova Bench, and Nova Insert configurations, with size guidance based on stove model, leg height, ash lip selection, and single or double-wall stovepipe choice. Bundled Shipping Savings: When purchased together with an MF Fire wood stove, there is no added shipping charge for the hearth pad, delivering meaningful cost savings over buying separately. Spark and Ember Containment: Provides a dedicated non-combustible landing zone that captures any sparks or burning embers that may escape during reloading, allowing them to burn out harmlessly without threatening your floors. Backward-Compatible Versatility: Type 2 hearth pads can be safely used in any installation that requires only Type 1 protection, allowing buyers to upgrade for added peace of mind or future-proof an installation that may change configurations.

Availability In Stock MF Fire Hearth Pads FAQ What is the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 hearth pads?Type 1 hearth pads provide ember protection only — they shield your floor from sparks and hot embers that may pop out of the stove, but do not block heat from radiating through to the subfloor. Type 2 hearth pads provide both ember protection AND thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer to combustible flooring underneath. MF Fire's Type 2 pads carry an R-value of 2.2 (with the 54" corner pad as an exception), well above the 1.0 R-value industry minimum for Type 2 protection. Type 2 pads can also be used anywhere a Type 1 is required, so when in doubt, upgrading offers extra peace of mind. Which hearth pad size and type do I need for my MF Fire stove?Required size and type depend on your specific Nova Series configuration — stove model (Nova, Nova 2, Tower, Bench, or Insert), leg height, whether you have an ash lip, your installation layout (standard or corner), and whether you're using single or double-wall stovepipe. MF Fire provides a Hearth Pad Size Table and Configuration Table on the product page to help match your setup. Always cross-reference your stove's owner's manual to confirm the correct protection type and minimum pad dimensions. Do I need a hearth pad for an installation on tile, concrete, or another non-combustible floor?A code-compliant hearth pad is still typically required even over non-combustible flooring, because most wood stove manuals specify a dedicated hearth area that meets defined dimensions and protection type around all four sides of the stove. Ember protection is needed regardless of subfloor material to safely contain sparks during reloading. Always check the requirements in your MF Fire stove owner's manual and consult your local building code or installer before skipping a hearth pad. What is the R-value of MF Fire Type 2 hearth pads and why does it matter?MF Fire's Type 2 hearth pads carry an R-value of 2.2 (excluding the 54" corner pad). R-value measures resistance to heat flow — the higher the number, the better the pad insulates the subfloor from stove heat. The industry minimum for Type 2 thermal protection is R-1.0, so MF Fire's 2.2 rating more than doubles the baseline requirement and exceeds MF Fire's own internal specs, giving you a significant safety margin on combustible floors. What is the special note about the Bench hearth pad?The Bench hearth pad is constructed of two steel pieces that set against each other rather than being formed from a single sheet. As a result, a minor seam will be visible where the two pieces meet. This is normal and does not affect performance, code compliance, or protection — it's purely a cosmetic detail to be aware of when planning your installation. I plan to install a Nova 2 on 3" legs in a corner without an ash lip — which hearth pad do I order?This specific configuration requires a higher-performance pad than the standard 54" corner Type 2 hearth pad offered on the product page. MF Fire asks customers planning this exact setup (Nova 2, 3" legs, no ash lip, corner installation) to contact their team directly by email to receive a quote for the appropriate hearth pad solution that meets the thermal protection requirements for that configuration. Is shipping included when I buy a hearth pad?When you purchase a hearth pad together with an MF Fire wood stove in the same order, there is no added shipping charge for the hearth pad — it ships free alongside your stove. Standalone hearth pad orders are shipped separately and MF Fire offers a shipping estimator on the product page where you can enter your country, state/province, city, and zip to calculate the total before checkout. How do I care for and maintain my MF Fire hearth pad?The powder-coated steel surface is easy to maintain. Sweep or vacuum loose ash and debris regularly to prevent abrasion. Wipe up spills promptly with a damp cloth — avoid harsh solvents or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the powder-coated finish. Allow the pad to cool fully before any deep cleaning. Never use the hearth pad to extinguish embers; instead, deposit hot ashes into a metal ash container with a tight-fitting lid. With normal use the pad's durable steel construction and protective coating are designed for many years of reliable service.
