We have an existing cast iron/wood stove in a kitchen around which we want to place new kitchen units. We plan to build with LECA or similar between the wood stove and the kitchen units to create a heat-separating distance. The wood stove will not be used daily for obvious reasons, but will surely be lit occasionally.

Questions:
  1. Does anyone know how thick it needs to be built to meet various requirements?
  2. What are the alternatives to building if you want to minimize the distance as much as possible?
Thank you in advance!

Best advice, consult with your skorstensfejarmästare as he will also inspect your installation. The inspection will become a valuable document for your fire insurance.

I asked the chimney sweep, 5 cm air and then 12.5 cm brick, joints well filled, then you can have wooden cabinets right against 👍

Feels oversized. But I guess they play it safe and then add 50%. 😅

I have made firewalls of fiber cement on steel studs with stone wool in the middle. What I remember was it was 70 mm stud and 9 mm fiber cement on each side. If I remember correctly, it was approved to be 100 mm from a non-rated fire source. When I made it, I found a construction description from the manufacturer of the boards which were previously called minerit. You probably won't get it much thinner than 125 mm.

Edit
I found this description.
