STR/CVR Series Woodburning Fireplaces
Example of Determining Hearth Extension Equivalents
To determine the thickness required for any new mate- rial:
NEW |
| K of new material (per inch) | thickness | |
required | = |
|
| X of listed |
|
| |||
thickness |
| K of listed material (per inch) | material | |
Example for Common Brick
T (new) = 5.0 / 0.458 x 0.50 in. = 5.46 in. (new required thickness).
