Wood Stove Radiation Shields

An example of a good sheet metal radiation shield beside a wood stove.

The sheet metal is spaced an inch away from the wall and raised an inch off the floor, it is fastened to non combustible spacers on the wall. A good quality, well constructed shield like this one may be installed to reduce minimum clearance to the combustible wall.

Radiation shields may also be designed with cement board and ceramic tile spaced in a similar fashion, when a more decorative look is required.

Reducing the clearances amounts depends upon the certification listed on the stove unit itself. The radiation shield may also be used to shield stovepipe.
