With wood stoves burning cleaner and hotter than ever before, a standard ember protector hearth pad may not meet the requirements of your stove. Recognizing this need, Hearth Classics developed ThermaShield pads, the highest R-Value tile and stone hearth pads on the market. Fully non-combustible, with an R-value of 1.01, ThermaShield pads act as a thermal barrier in addition to protecting from falling embers. Because all our hearth pads are made with ThermaShield technology, Hearth Classics takes the guesswork out of choosing the right protection. All our pads are certified to meet or exceed UL1618 and ULC-S632-99. Whether you’re burning gas, pellets, corn, coal, oil or wood, our hearth pads offer the best protection on the market - and they look great too.

Thermal Protection

ThermaShield Xtreme

Some stoves require R-values greater than R=1.01. For these stoves, we have designed the Low Profile Base and the Award winning ThermaShield Xtreme Floor Protection System. Consult with your stove dealer and stove manual for your stove’s required R-value.

The Low Profile Base

At 1¹⁄₈” thick, the Low Profile Base provides additional layers of insulation in a frame beneath your hearth pad. The result is an R-value of R=3.19. This is also a great option for installations when carpet can’t be removed beneath the pad.

ThermaShield Xtreme Floor Protection System

For stoves that require even more thermal protection, we designed the Award winning ThermaShield Xtreme Floor Protection System. Consisting of a ThermaShield hearth pad and specialized matching 6” pedestal, the system can be customized to provide a range of R-values from R=2.01 to R=10. ThermaShield Xtreme is available for Yoder Original and Classic Edge pads.
