Hello folks,
Newbie here. Novice as well.
Have REALLY enjoyed lurking here and reading past discussions.
I have a fairly oddball question I’ll bet: My question involves heat and its effects (or hopefully non-effects on Advantek)
I recently installed a soap stone wood stove in our home (new construction).
We used 3/4″ AdvanTek on our subfloor. I put another sheet of the same material on top of that to help disperse the weight over several floor trusses. (the stove is VERY heavy) Over that I put 1/2″ (I think) cement board.
I then build a stone surround. Stones vary from 1″-2″ thick, set in about 1″-3″ of cement.
After burning our stove for extended periods of time a fairly significant amount of heat is transferred through all of those materials. When I go to my basement and feel the bottom layer of AdvanTek it is fairly warm to the touch.
Over time, will that heat pose any structural problem for the AdvanTek? i.e. delaminating
Should I be concerned about off-gassing due to above room temp conditions?
I am an amateur and would appreciate any advice? Had I know about this forum I would have consulted before the install.
Thanks in advance

email directly to the advantech engineers and ask them, they would know for sure.
Thanks for the reply. Will try to contact someone there.
