Pellet stoves are commonly used as a heat source for homes. Pellets stoves are both attractive and efficient. Many pellet stoves resemble a wood stove and burn with a similar burn pattern.

When installing a pellet stove, you must follow the installation manual which will state that you must place the stove on a non-combustible surface - usually called a hearth pad . Hearth pads are typically made of masonry material and can be purchased at fireplace suppliers.

Concrete hearth pads can be made to look appealing by adding stenciling, painted surface or stained surface to make you pellet stove pad a work of art. Consider painting or stenciling a scene on the concrete or cover the entire pad with paint or stain.
