Default Fireplace Question

Hello,

I recently moved into a home with a fireplace. Everything is fine
except that the perimeter around the fireplace (on the floor) is not
sufficient. The law here is that the fireplace needs to be surrounded
by 18 inches of fireproof material on the floor. Mine only has 12
inches.

Currently my fireplace is surrounded by fireproof tile.

A friend mention that one can buy a fireproof sheet that can be placed
on the floor and thereby satisfy the legal requirement.

Does anyone know of a product that can do this and where I can buy it?

I went to the local home hardware store and came up empty. They are
definately not the brightest people working there.

Thanks for your help!

Mark
