Heat shield

For free-standing wood-burning stoves located near the wall, they require an approved heat shield to protect the surrounding areas from heat and possible combustion. By using an approved heat shield system, the required distance between the stove and adjacent wall can be significantly reduced.

To minimize that distance, the use of an approved PermaBASE cement board heat shield installation will reduce the clearance required by as much as 40%.

PermaBASE cement boards are the industry-preferred choice. Installation-ready and easy-to-use, PermaBASE® cement boards eliminate the need for field fabrication, saving time while allowing for enhanced performance and wood-burning stove placement closer to the wall.
