Spuds asked:


What can I put on the two walls that have the cement backer board? Is there only certain things that I can put on them. They are about 3 ft. away from the stove. What is the code for this. I am at a loss, but I need to do something about this. Anyone know about wood stove codes. Thanks…

      The wall behind it and brick finishing looks pretty good.
      For ours the same for ours the red brick finishing looks pretty standard about the woodburner to set.
      For the wall is pretty standard about the woodburner to set on sounds like the distance from the red brick finishing looks pretty good.

      Codes are local, usually by county. Requirements can usually be gotten for free from your county planning office. You’ll most likely be able to use a clay-based tile. You local codes will decide if you have to use a high-heat mortar or not, it’s always best to check before starting work.

      Good luck!

      The clearence is anywhere from 18 to find out what your local building codes are.

      Fireplace shops sell different types of wall boards than meet most building codes. Try to find a dealer that sells your brand of wood stove. They should have access to manufacturers recommendations on safety clearances. You might also get the information on line. Give them the model of your wood stove.
