Can you place a wood burning stove on top of laminate floor?

No, you should not place a wood-burning stove directly on laminate flooring. The high heat generated by the stove can cause the laminate to warp or catch fire. It's essential to use a heat-resistant hearth or pad made of non-combustible materials, such as stone or tile, to protect the flooring underneath. Always follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for safe installation.
