Hello
I need some feedback. I'm setting up a place for a small kitchen stove (Viking 30) where there was likely a real kitchen stove 50 years ago. I've removed most of the plaster as it was in very poor condition. Initially, I thought about replastering everything, but then I read here on the forum about Minerit boards. The boards (or plaster) will be tiled.
From what I understand, it's okay to have them directly next to and behind a stove. Viking 30 only requires a 5-10 mm air gap against non-combustible materials, and 50 mm lightweight concrete between the stove and combustible wall.
Since the chimney is brick, I wonder if the board can be placed directly on the brick without an air gap? Or if the board itself needs the air gap. I need every cm I can get, hence the question.
On the side towards the rest of the kitchen, a narrow lecablock wall will be erected, but I'm now considering if Minerit board could also be used there, but with steel studs instead. It would be roughly the same thickness.
