I am building my stand and it will have a laminate top. I'm thinking I don't really want to set the BK directly on it. Looking for some ideas if you have any.

Diamond Plate.
Yooper said:Diamond plate!!!!!! Yes. Not "running boards metal stuff".
"Running boards metal" makes any stand look pretty - yours included. Thanks for the idea.
I'm thinking also of a large trivet - like antique maybe. Or also thought about buying a single granite or ceramic tile.
Thanks for the input everyone! Some really great ideas!
The thought occurred to me this morning - would a concrete stepping stone stand up to the heat?
Realize "the heat" is only boiling wort. Even your laminate should be able to handle 212F. A better reason to insulate the bottom is to minimize heat loss.
Cut a circle out of a piece of rigid insulation from HD.I should also mention that I have even one more reason to put something underneath - I would like to raise the height of the BK an inch or two above the laminate (simply because of my cfc is gravity fed).
Zombie thread...
Any more thoughts, ideas, comments as to what would work?
Not worried about setting my brew bench on fire (wood ignites around 300F).. but it does get a little warm, and who knows how high laminate flooring (what I used to top my bench) will go before ignition..
I did try a couple of large thin silicone pizza mats under the boil kettle but it did very little to keep heat out of the stainless table.
