Is it ok to use drywall this close to the tiled stove?

[Zwännzån]

I'm renovating a room and putting up drywall on the walls. Previously, it was tretex.

After putting the last sheet near the tile stove, I became a bit hesitant. Is it okay to have drywall there? I can't reach the chimney sweep at the moment but will wait for his verdict. I've measured the temperature there during full firing, which showed 37 degrees. But what do you think? Are there any problems? The stud behind stops 5 cm from the chimney.

Edit: for info, it's a plastered chimney breast right by the tile stove and no drywall...

No problem, a kakelugn does not exceed 80 degrees C on the surface.

Behind the kakelugn, there should be a chimney and no wood or paper. Only brick and plaster. And there needs to be a little air between the crown and the ceiling, perhaps 20 cm.

OK funnily enough the chimney sweep said that 5 cm between the crown and ceiling is enough since the smoke pipe is at the same level as the front valve..

He's almost right. The front soot hatch is at the bottom of the flue pipe, which is thicker than the vent, square, and slopes upwards. Typically, it's built with 3-inch stone, so around 75 mm of brick plus plaster between the flue pipe's top and the outside of the tiled stove. But it gets hot there.

If you measure from the top of the crown, in principle, 5 cm might be enough to the ceiling. But then you can't clean behind the crown. It gets dusty there.

He’s almost right. The soot hatch is located at the bottom of the smoke pipe, which is thicker than the valve, square-shaped, and slopes upward backward. Normally it is bricked with 3-inch stone, so around 75 mm of brick plus plaster between the smoke pipe's ceiling and the exterior of the tiled stove. But it gets hot there.

If you measure from the top of the crown, about 5 cm to the ceiling should be sufficient. However, that way you cannot clean behind the crown. It becomes dusty there.

Yes, it will be 8 cm from the finished ceiling, it was 12 cm before from the crown to tretex. You can fit a small vacuum hose.
