Appendix A

Alternate floor protection

All floor protection materials must be non-combustible ie. metal,
brick, stone, mineral fiber boards). Any combustible material may
not be used.

The easiest means of determining if a proposed alternate floor
material meets requirements listed in this manual is to follow this
procedure.

R-value = thermal resistance
k-value = thermal conductivity
C-value = thermal conductance

1.

Convert the specification to R-value;
a.

If R-value is given, no conversion is needed.

b.

If k-value is given with a required thickness (T) in inches:
R=1/k X T.

c.

If C-value is given: R=1/C.

2.

Determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor protector.
a.

Use the formula in Step 1 to convert values not expressed
as “R”.

b.

For multiple layers, add R-values of each layer to determine
overall R-value.

3.

If the overall R-value of the sustem is greater than the R-value of
the specified floor protector, the alternate is acceptable.

Example:

The specified floor protector should be 3/4” thick material with a k-
factor of 0.84. The proposed alternate is 4” brick with a C-factor of
1.25 over 1/8” mineral board with a k-factor of 0.29.

Step A. Use formula above to convert specifications to R-value. R=1/
k X T= 1/.84 X .75 = .893

Step B. Calculate R of proposed system.

4” brick of C-1.25, therefore

R brick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80.

1/8” mineral board of k = 0.29 therefore

R mineral board = 1/.29 X 0.125 = 0.431

Total R = R brick + R mineral board=
0.8 + 0.431=1.231

Step C. Compare proposed system R = 1.231 to specified R of 0.893.
Since R is greater than required, the system is acceptable.

The Jøtul F 400 Castine woodstove requires floor protection with a
minimum insulating r value of 0.5.

Alcove installation require a minimum r value of 1.6. (If a ul/ulc or
whi listed hearth pad is not used.)
