Now I need some help from all the knowledgeable people on the byggahus forum. How do I build next to the chimney without risking the panel catching fire? The chimney can get quite hot and I am unsure how close I can have wood paneling, and as you can see in picture 3, I have a really hard time building anything between the chimney and the wall as I only have 20 cm between them. Do you know any clever solutions to this little dilemma?
Thank you for your responses! Perhaps there is a chimney sweep here on the forum who knows more in-depth how to solve this in a neat way? What do you think about using a Minerit board between the panel and the chimney? Or putting up stone tiles around it to be on the safe side. The chimney is only made of lecablock.
My tip is to take a look at lightweight concrete, easy to shape, and moistened and glued together with something like tile adhesive, 20 cm gap maybe with a small vault niche, for possible tealights.
You can have paneling, but not load-bearing wooden beams, in contact with the chimney.
However, if it gets very hot, over 80 degrees, you should probably avoid paneling as well just for self-preservation.
Leave a little gap instead of placing the paneling directly against the chimney.
When I had a fire safety inspection last winter, the inspector also remarked on paneling that was against the chimney.
It was an insulated steel chimney at that time.
There should be 50 mm between the floor and ceiling boards and the chimney.
So I had to saw all around.

Thanks for the tip, please describe in more detail what you have in mind. It seems to be a nice solution for the narrow space of 20 cm. Maybe put up a slab a little closer and "glue" up some small concrete blocks that are shaped.
My chimney sweep forced me to cut off rafters (non-load-bearing type...) that were against the chimney. However, it was completely fine to have roof panels directly against the chimney in the basement.
It seems to vary from chimney sweep to chimney sweep and what mood they are in.
Perhaps it's already done, but if not, I thought about placing 50 slices as the backing and 100 on the front. It's easy to shape, but a bit carefully since there's only 20 cm to work with. The front is plastered as usual like the wall. The nicest thing you can do, in my opinion, is to add 10 cm to the entire wall and chip away the plaster in any niches, but that would be an entirely different operation. I'm sending some pictures of my own chimney as an example.

50 sheets as backing and 100 on the front side. That makes 150 sheets. Expensive. Difficult to join all those sheets, I think. Not to mention handling so many sheets that may weigh 15 kilos each; that's over two tons of material!
Ha ha everything is in the eyes of the beholder, but the figure sitting on the stove making sure I don't slack off is probably familiar, I think the wife put him there.
