Plastering on fibre cement.
I know it has been discussed about having plasterboard behind a stove. But I have a colleague who had a stove installed by the seller's installers and there were no problems with having plasterboard behind the stove according to the seller and the chimney sweeper (Landskrona municipality).
It is related to the stove's installation instructions. Some can be installed 100 mm from combustible materials.Fredrik.engdahl said:

It looks like you've stolen our floor plan, kind of...
But it looks nice with stone like the one behind the stove, I've thought about that too, but then started thinking about something that should look like a plastered white-painted wall.
Nothing is decided yet...
Did you use regular indoor paint, plastic paint?SBH said:
I'm a bit curious about how that paint feels about the slightly high temperatures that always occur when you have a fire going?
What do you suggest for making texture with?
Kami, I've gone back and forth on the idea of tiles on the wall behind for a bit, but even though I'm really tempted
I need to check with a paint dealer about what happens if you mix sand into silicate paint.
For God's sake!
DO NOT PAINT WITH REGULAR PAINT!!!
We tried once at my son's place with Hornbach wall paint. At temperatures above 55-60 degrees, the paint starts to emit a terribly bad smell. Like burnt plastic. It was unbearable to be indoors.
We then had to heat/ventilate for 2 weeks. The smell lingers! It burns the eyes...
Don't do it.

Now I've done some color research on the internet.
All the colors I find seem to have acrylic or styrene acrylic as a binder.
So I've looked at colors called, among others, silicate paint, base color, plaster paint, etc.
It seems to be an equivalent product.
I have also learned that real silicate paint seems to consist of two different things that should be mixed shortly before use. But such a product doesn't seem to be available in any regular paint store, nor at Byggmax, Jula, Biltema, and others.
If I wanted to avoid a regular wall paint due to the risk of it being affected by the heat, these plaster paints with acrylic in them don't seem so good either.

Update.
Apparently, there is silicate paint available if you visit a regular paint store.
Beckers and Caparol, for example.
There is also dolomite sand to mix into the paint if you want a texture like plaster.
This sounds very simple and good.
But I've encountered a problem with the packaging sizes.
Beckers' smallest is 3 liters and Caparol's smallest is 10 liters, and I need to paint 2 sqm... :O
