The main clearances shown are; heat shield spacing from wall 7/8 inch, shield must extend 18 inches from side of appliance, and shield must extend 20 inches above appliance. Ember pad must extend 8 inches to side and rear of appliance and 18 inches in front of opening door.
The top surface of the bricks should be covered with sheet metal not less than 24-gauge. The floor protection should extend not less than 18 inches beyond the appliance on all sides.
Here are a couple images of the best way to build a non combustible heat shield behind a wood stove. 1/2'' cement backer board can be used for the heat shield and if properly attached with spacers will support the ceramic tile.
I would recommend using brick or masonry as a heat shield for your wood burner. Just to be extra safe, you can place the corrugated sheets in front of the bricks and fix it in place with either Dynabolts or a galvanized nut and bolt assembly with washers.
Heat shields can be made from a number of different materials. These include brick, stone, tile or vitreous enamel. What's important to bear in mind, however, is that the heat shield is fitted with an air gap between it and the wall surface behind it.
As stated by building regulations, your stove must always be placed on a non-combustible material such as granite, slate, steel or glass.
Because this often places the stove out into the room, many home owners choose to build a wall shield instead. The most common way of doing this is to tile the wall or a portion of the wall behind the stove.
Strong, durable and resistant to water damage, DUROCK® Next Gen Cement Board is ideal for use in partitions, walls, floors and ceilings in residential construction and can be used as a heat shield. Water, Mould and Moisture Resistant.
Heat shields for terrestrial applications are frequently made of copper. In applications such as space flight or balloon-borne instruments, where weight is a primary concern, aluminum heat shields are favored.
By far the most effective heat shields are the air-cooled type. These shields are constructed with a sheet of 24 gauge or thicker sheet metal, or 1/2" or thicker cement board, with 1" of air space behind the shield and around the perimeter to allow free airflow.
Please note that you want to keep the ASJ Max paper way from any open flame or touching a metal flue pipe, as any fiberglass insulation touching flue pipes can pose a fire hazard.
To achieve good functionality the three attributes required of a heat shield are low thermal conductivity (high thermal resistance), high emissivity, and good thermal stability (refractoriness).
Adding corrugated metal behind your wood stove is an excellent way to protect your walls, prevent fires, and create a stylish, rustic look in your home. It's an easy and practical winter DIY project that adds both safety and charm to your space.
Listed wood stoves may be installed to as little as 6 inches away from combustibles, if they incorporate heat shields and combustion design that directs heat away from the stove's back and sides. Unlisted stoves must be at least 36 inches away from combustibles.
The industry's solution for heat shields
PermaBASE cement boards are the industry-preferred choice. Installation-ready and easy-to-use, PermaBASE® cement boards eliminate the need for field fabrication, saving time while allowing for enhanced performance and wood-burning stove placement closer to the wall.
The floor pad can be brick, concrete, slate, ceramic tile or another noncombustible material; in most cases, it may not be installed on top of carpeting.
Choose porcelain or natural stone tiles for tiling around your stove as both will withstand the heat from a log burner. Use heat-resistant tile adhesive and grout to prevent the tiles from dislodging and cracking. Some tile materials, like stone, may need to be sealed before use.
If used in a certain way, metal can indeed act as a good heat shield. At the same time, if metal is used in a different way, it can act as a good heat sink, which is the opposite of a heat shield.
If you're installing a wood burner or stove in your living area, and you'd like to use tiles as a backdrop surrounding it, then we recommend choosing porcelain tiles, which are heat resistant.
It stipulated that the “appliance” must be mounted 18 inches above floor level. To be sure, the height of the appliance's pedestal or legs was being factored in as part of the appliance.
