Drolet Black Steel Hearth Pads Features
Important: These two options are not interchangeable specs with different sizes — only the Modular Hearth Pad System (AC02711) is insulated. The Corner Hearth Pad (AC02789) has no insulation layer and no R-value at all. Because of this core construction difference, each option's specifications are listed separately in full below rather than merged into one shared table.
- Insulated vs. Non-Insulated: The Key Difference: The Modular pad (AC02711) is the only option with insulation — 1/2" Micore® 300 delivering an R-value of 1.03. The Corner pad (AC02789) is solid, non-insulated 16-gauge steel with no R-value, and is intended only for stoves whose installation manual does not require a rated hearth R-value.
- Two Configurations to Fit Your Layout: Available as the Modular Hearth Pad System (AC02711) for straight, insulated placement, or the Corner Hearth Pad (AC02789) for angled installations against two walls.
- Effective Ember Protection: Both options are designed to sit under a wood stove and protect combustible flooring from hot embers that may fall during loading.
- Durable Black Powder Coat Finish: Both pads feature a black steel powder coat finish for increased durability and resistance to wear.
- Simplified Corner Option: The Corner pad (AC02789) uses 16-gauge steel construction with a simple four-piece assembly, and, having no insulation, is lighter and simpler than the Modular pad — but only suitable where an R-value isn't required.
- Code-Compliant Protection: Both hearth pads meet CSA B365 (Canada) and NFPA 211 (United States) standards for combustible floor protection.
- Sized for Compact and Mid-Size Stoves: The Modular pad accommodates stoves up to 28" D x 30" W; the Corner pad accommodates stoves up to 25" D x 25" W.
- Made in Canada: Both options are manufactured in Canada and covered by U.S. Patent D1007009.

Drolet Black Steel Hearth Pads FAQ
Which option should I choose, the Modular pad or the Corner pad?
Choose the Modular Hearth Pad System (AC02711) if your stove needs to sit against a single wall and requires added floor insulation (R-value 1.03). Choose the Corner Hearth Pad (AC02789) if your installation is in a corner against two walls and your stove doesn't require a rated R-value.
Do I need the insulated version?
Only the Modular pad (AC02711) offers insulation — 1/2" Micore® 300 with an R-value of 1.03. The Corner pad (AC02789) has no insulation and no R-value at all. Check your stove's installation manual for its required hearth R-value: if insulated floor protection is required, AC02711 is the only option between these two that meets that need. If your stove's manual specifies no R-value requirement, the non-insulated Corner pad (AC02789) is designed for that case.
What size stove will fit on each pad?
The Modular pad (AC02711) is recommended for stoves up to 28" deep by 30" wide. The Corner pad (AC02789) is recommended for stoves up to 25" deep by 25" wide. Always confirm clearance requirements against your specific stove's manual as well.
How is each hearth pad installed?
The Corner pad (AC02789) uses a simple four-piece assembly designed for straightforward installation in a corner. The Modular pad (AC02711) follows its own modular floor protection system assembly process. Full installation manuals are available for download from Drolet for each option.
What certifications do these hearth pads meet?
Both the Modular and Corner hearth pads meet CSA B365 (Canada) and NFPA 211 (United States) standards for protecting combustible floor surfaces beneath wood-burning appliances.
What's the difference in weight and handling between the two options?
The Modular pad (AC02711) weighs 68 lb (31 kg) due to its insulated steel construction, while the Corner pad (AC02789) weighs 56 lb. Both are manageable for a single installer but benefit from a second set of hands during placement.
Are these hearth pads still available for purchase?
Both the Modular Hearth Pad System (AC02711) and the Corner Hearth Pad (AC02789) are currently listed as discontinued on Drolet's site. Check with a Drolet dealer or the "Where to Buy" page for current stock or a comparable replacement option.
What finish do these hearth pads have?
Both options feature a black steel powder coat finish, chosen for increased durability and resistance to wear from regular use.
