How can i prevent that my painted wall gets smoked by the fireplace?

What material is your wall make out of, and what is it covered with?

This link might give you a heads up:

Last year we put in a wood-burning stove and used it pretty much all winter long. It does not have stone behind it and the heat from the stove has begun to crack the wall. What can we do to fix this problem? Would putting stone behind prevent future breaks in the wall? If so how do we begin this project? The sheet rock on the ceiling has also begun to come down.

• Who installed the stove? Was it installed by a professional to all fire codes?
• It sounds to me that it's too close to a combustible surface. And if that's the case do NOT burn the stove until the situation has been rectified! As far as the ceiling goes, is it cracking near the stovepipe? If so, is there an insulating collar at the ceiling? Most house fires start at the collar where it goes through a wall or ceiling. The fire starts long before you're even aware of it.
• Contact the dealer and have a rep come out for an inspection. See if you can get heat shields for the stove. And if this is not possible then install a non combustible surface behind and above the stove where the chimney goes up through it.
• You sound like a house fire just waiting to happen! And if your homeowner's insurance is unaware of the stove, you may be denied coverage in the case of a catastrophe.

There should be some sort of heat shield behind the stove. Cement board is one possibility.

Hello. You might find some ideas here.

You need to install something heat and fireproof behind the wood stove. Cheapest option is to tile the wall or sheet metal. Make sure the wood stove is the proper distance from the wall.

You could put a plexiglass panel up on the wall.

You need concrete board behind the stove. If you are getting wall damage, the next step is your house catching on fire. Read the link below.

We bought a pad for ours when we had it put in. Looks like the stove is sitting on a tile pad (it is concrete underneath).

But the walls of the stove are also lined with fire brick which helps retain the heat more and the metal is double walled that allows the wood stove side not to get hot and was required by code when installed.

We bougth this about 25 years ago and they had to meet code even then.

Where did you buy your stove and who installed it? Have you cleared this installation with your insurance company?

here is some info to help you

I would bring in a professional, even just getting advice or an estimate would give you tips on what to do if you want to do it yourself.

You definitely need a heat shield or pad behind the stove. Contact the company that made the stove and ask for suggestions.

There should be brick there or tile or slate there something that could hold heat

It sounds like you need a "backer board" behind your stove. For safety issues as well as how it looks. This board is made from special material so it doesn't heat up and is meant to be used behind wood stoves.

Ask at your local building store and they should have it there for you.

I would paint on a clear sealer - a couple of coats that is easily washable so you can wipe off the soot and dust! Personally for me though, my woodstove adds so much dust to my carpets that I shampoo them and they just never get fully cleaned!

Use a water proof paint

Hello there, What you might find you need is a Cowell or small cover for the top of open fire place opening.

Your house is going to catch fire! You need a proper non-combustible pad of fire tiles or brick underneath, the stove (airtight) needs a backing that is non-combustible like a stone wall, or you can use a corrugated metal piece mounted 1" off the ground and 1"-2" from the wall using metal spacers. Then it would be best to use double wall stove pipe and a cowel at the ceiling. The stove should be 24" -36" from the wall and any furniture.

You want to take down the stove pipe each fall and use a chimney brush to clean out the pipe to prevent a ceiling fire. Creosote buildup in the pipe can cause a fire.

Here is a simple build.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vWtUVmpvHQ I would opt to replace the curtain with some window film and move the wall hanging over too.
