Hello.
Imagine log houses and a Canadian stone-clad fireplace from floor to ceiling.
I plan to have something like that built, but I'm a bit too much of a control freak to just let the builders go ahead... Therefore, I want to know how to construct this structure and with what materials.
The fireplace itself is a module with an extra steel frame specifically for this purpose, but how do you attach/build the wall above the frame on which you then lay the stones up to the ceiling?
The stone we've found comes in cut modules, so that part won't be too difficult, but it all will weigh... about 800kg, pressing straight down on the fireplace's mounting frame which goes around the fireplace, which is also glass-clad on all 3 visible sides.
Has anyone done something similar and can shed light on this?
Let's all assume it's fireproof and the right stone material.
Looking forward to your responses.

The answer here is that the manufacturer's instructions should be followed. The stove is approved for the specific setup described by the manufacturer.
Or am I misunderstanding, and you want to change the use of the stove's extra steel frame to your stone wall without the stove being approved for this use?

Of course, it is the lev instructions that apply, don’t think otherwise. But it’s no more detailed instruction like "construction should be clad in fireproof mtrl" - nice, didn’t think of that... The question is how to build the "wall" of fireproof boards above a steel frame? How do you anchor it to the wall so the entire stone wall doesn't come flying one day... the steel frame is really just a "frame" around the stove and then a chimney pipe should be clad in a wall/niche construction that is then clad with stone and up to a height of 5m. It is this construction that I am curious about.
