Hearth On Top Of Wood Floor

Trimming a wood floor around a hearth.

Hearth on top of wood floor.

Hearthwood 100 real hardwoods are treated with wetworx an innovative water resistant splatter and spill guard that prevents moisture absorption up to 250 more than competitive hardwood. Otherwise the constructional hearth must be 5 125cm of concrete or brick and a suitable vwa must also be present. I have a few challenges along the way currently the space where the insert enclosure will go is hardwood floors so to build the hearth i was originally going to just put two cement boards on top of the hardwood and use thinset screws after going research i came to the conclusion that this will not work. Transitioning from hardwood to a hearth is tricky whether the hearth is level with the floor or raised.

Flat but not level will not work near as well for reasons that will be explained. T he constructional hearth area for a freestanding stove must be a minimum size. Wetworx protects all six sides of every hearthwood plank so you can enjoy the beauty of your hardwood floors without worrying about everyday messes. The wood requires expansion gaps on all sides to.

An example would be a solid concrete floor with a slate hearth laid on top. Another example would be a raised brick area 5 high. When i say level i do mean level.
