Fireproof behind the stove!!

[Nils]

I have bought a Jötul 100 cast iron stove to install in an older summer cottage that is about to undergo a complete renovation. The seller informed me that if I want to mount the stove close to the wall, I need to add an extra convection plate at 975 SEK or build a fireproof wall behind the stove. My question to you, does anyone out "there" have experience with such a built fire wall? What can it consist of? Is floor tile suitable?

Grateful for any answers I can get..

"Old Summer Cottage" - if it's raw planking walls, it might be enough to screw a minerit board behind the stove, call and ask the chimney sweeper, he usually wants to have a say.

Fireproof wall: For safety reasons, place a mineritskiva against the wooden wall. Then build a wall with regular bricks.

...but as I said: Call the chimney sweep. They know their stuff.

If a convector plate is sufficient, floor tiles should probably work as well. However, it might be problematic to keep them in place if you have a wooden wall behind. If you want tiles for aesthetic reasons, you could mount a minerit board (which also provides protection) and then tile on that. I don't think it will be cheaper than the convector plate, but certainly more attractive.

How close to the wall should it be? Less than recommended for the stove model? Call the chimney sweep and check with them too. It's not fun to install it completely and then have it rejected by them.

I installed minerit boards behind our wood stove and painted them with a type of "plaster-look-alike" paint. Both approved by the chimney sweep and gives a masonry feel.

Doesn't the chimney sweep also usually want an air gap behind the minerit board?

Mja. On my question, a tile-clad wall was not approved as a non-combustible wall because the heat easily transfers through. However, the chimney sweep approved that it was sufficient for what was placed behind the tiles to meet the distance requirement. That is, if you theoretically have a requirement of 100 mm on combustible and 0 mm on non-combustible, then the tiles must be 100 mm thick if there is a combustible wall behind it. But this was probably within the gray zone, so it's not certain that all chimney sweeps would approve this.

Edited:
Even though plasterboard does not burn, it is eventually destroyed by heat and will deteriorate.

According to the place where I bought my stove, it was sufficient to place the stove 10 cm from a regular single plasterboard wall. Could that be right?

It can certainly be correct. Measurements differ from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model.

Personally, I have my stove about 10 cm from the wall with single-layer plasterboard. Completely according to the requirements that were set. In my case, the only place I had to add heat protection was in the ceiling above.
