I have a stove Lucy 16kW that will be clad with calcium silicate boards. It will be enclosed all the way up to the ceiling. I then plan to cover the enclosure with some type of acoustic panel like wood on wall or similar, which is popular right now. But I'm just wondering if there are any specific regulations regarding fire requirements for the surface finish on the exterior of the enclosure. We will of course have spark protection in the form of tiles on the floor. But I'm not sure if there are other regulations regarding this. If so, I would appreciate it if someone could point something out.

I have a recollection that there is a rule that it should be free the nearest 50 mm around a chimney in any case.
 
Check with Fibrotech. They know!

But I was just considering if there are any specific regulations regarding fire requirements for the surface layer of the enclosure on the outside. We will of course have spark protection in the form of clinker tiles on the floor. But I don't know if there are other regulations around this. If so, grateful if someone could point to something.
No answer to the question and hopefully you are already done with the installation, but how are you attaching the boards? Is it masonry or framed? Asking because I also have a Lucy 16kW that needs to be built in.

The boards were attached with screws that can withstand heat. Don't remember the exact name, but black and metal studs. Then the boards were glued together with adhesive purchased along with the calcium silicate boards. They themselves are self-supporting; the steel frame was in place to stabilize while everything cures.
 
  • Metal frame with attached calcium silicate board, secured with heat-resistant screws and adhesive; glue bucket on top, construction tools visible.
  • Fireplace construction with metal studs and insulation boards, tools, and materials scattered on the floor in a partially renovated room.
  • Construction site with calcium silicate boards fixed on a structure, metal scaffolding, and tools on the floor in an unfinished room.
  • Modern fireplace with vertical wooden slats and a large glass door, next to a window overlooking a field. A ladder is visible on the right.
