The Classic Edge in Desert/Canyon
Classic Edge hearth pads have a smooth, elegant profile inspired by cast stoves of today and yesterday.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size hearth pad do I need?
The stove you will be putting on it determines the size of the pad. Generally speaking, wood stoves require pads 48” and larger to protect from falling embers. Pellet, gas, electric, corn, oil and propane stoves can be installed on smaller pads. Consult your stove dealer or stove manual for your stove’s specific requirements.
How do I know whether I need ember protection or thermal protection?
Just as when determining the right size of pad, the stove you will be putting on it determines the type of protection you need. Consult your stove dealer or stove manual for your stove’s specific requirements.
How thick are your hearth pads?
Tiled pads are 1¼” thick. Stone and Brick pads are 1½” thick.
Can I have a hole cut in my hearth pad?
Absolutely. We do it all the time. Your stove dealer will need to send us a drawing showing us the size and placement of the hole.
Can you make a pad to fit my special dimensions?
Yes we can. We excel at custom work. Part of our factory and team of craftsmen are dedicated to making custom hearth pads. Your stove dealer will need to send us a drawing with all your required dimensions.
Would you make a pad using my tile?
We’d be happy to.
What is the biggest custom pad I can have made?
Although we can technically make a hearth pad in any size, we’re limited by the ability to get it to you without freight damage. For that reason, we do not make hearth pads for use under stoves larger than 61” on a side. We can make extensions for use in front of a fireplace up to 72’ long, but not deeper than 22”.
Why can’t I install my hearth pad directly over carpet?
When a stove is installed on a hearth pad, its weight pushes the hearth pad down directly under its footprint. If the pad isn’t sitting on a firm, hard surface, this might cause the pad to flex. Unfortunately, tile and grout aren’t flexible materials. If the stove is heavy enough, you might end up with cracked grout or tile.
A second reason is that our pads are designed to have air space beneath them to increase their thermal resistance. If installed over carpet, the carpet will fill that air space and significantly reduce the R-value. For these reasons, our warranty is voided when our pads are not installed on a firm hard surface.
If cutting the carpet away is not an option, a Low Profile base can be placed beneath the hearth pad. The Low Profile base compresses the carpet and provides a flat surface on which to place the pad. Another option is to cut a piece of 3/4” particleboard slightly smaller than your hearth pad to do the same job. The particle board should be cut so that it supports the metal frame of the pad on all sizes.
Why can’t I get a 10” pedestal for a pad larger than 36”?
Stoves can weigh up to 700 lbs. With every pedestal we ship, we send a support that sits inside the pedestal under the stove. In our view, elevating and supporting a 700 lb stove 10” off the ground might present a safety issue.
