Hello, I'm renovating a turn-of-the-century house and planning to install an older cast iron stove of cylindrical model in one of the rooms.
On the intended spot, there used to be a tiled stove, and the niche remains. In one direction, I've placed gypsum closest, and I plan to put wallpaper on both sides.
Can I do that? I understand that, of course, I need to put something non-combustible on the floor, but I'm mostly wondering about wallpaper and wood on the sides. I'd prefer not to redo it once I've wallpapered, etc. See pictures for a better explanation.
The stove in the picture is from Qvesarum's website and it's not certain that it's the exact one that will be installed. I hope it's okay that I borrowed the picture from there; otherwise, I will remove it.
Best regards,
Samuel

For a non-insulated stove, 500 mm to combustible material applies. I spontaneously think that your niche looks a bit small for you to meet that distance requirement.

Thank you for your quick response, I looked at the link and saw that it was 500mm just as you said.
The top of the stove will end up 1000mm from the ceiling which is plastered (about 20mm). However, the smoke pipe will be slightly critical and enter where the ventilation duct is. An alternative might be to remove the wooden strip that sits on the niche and replace it with a faux plaster one.
Are there otherwise insulated smoke pipes that are not too thick and ugly to get hold of?
