Plastering on fibre cement.
Hi.
I'm thinking about putting up a cement board behind the future stove, then applying a thin plaster or something else to create a plaster texture, and finally painting with white silicate paint (since it's heat-resistant, right?).
I would also like to have some stripes in the plaster or in what looks like plaster. I'm not sure what it's called, scrubbed surface?
Something like this:

I hope someone has some tips on what material on the cement board might be suitable.

In any case, it must withstand a certain elevated temperature for long periods. I'm not quite sure how hot it gets there, but for example, I don't think a plastic paint can handle it in the long run.
Can you mix sand into silicate paint and then paint with it?

Just want to say that you are not allowed to polish minerit according to their seller, use the Aquapanel external board instead.
You can and you may. Did so myself once. However, not behind the stove.Mikael_L said:
The surface should almost be possible to achieve with a calc brush. If you're gentle and have a fine-grained plaster, it should work.
But what kind of crappy board is Minerit really. :OFredrik.engdahl said:
Is it made of sugar icing or ... :x
Breaks if it's tiled on, breaks if it's plastered on ... :@
It's probably only Masonite and Treetex that are worse boards. I'm never ever ever going to buy a Minerit board again. :@
Take Aquapanel but buy 2. You will crack one before it goes up.
I would take minerit and prime with primer+sand. Then "paint/plaster on" with colored plaster. Structure with wallpaper brush.
Done. But that's how I would do it.
Why not cover it with granite stone?
Or just apply outdoor adhesive for tiles and create texture in it? It is usually cement-based.

Yes, fix should also work well to "polish" with, in a fairly thin layer.
Yeah, if minerit can withstand fix then... :x
I already have some minerit boards, which I've thought would be nice to use.
But if minerit boards are such crap, then I might have to throw them away. And instead buy a quality board called gipsskiva instead. d^_^b
