4 sq metres of asbestos carpet would probably be ideal, but no
longer politically correct. A sheet of plasterboard would
probably protect enough from the heat, but would break up and
make a mess due to walking over it. I thought about sacrificing
a kitchen fireblanket, but I really can't believe it will stop
the heat for several hours.

A metal cold water tank cut down to about 4" depth, sat on 1 house brick at
each corner. :-)
