I'm looking into having a Dunsley Highlander 5 multi fuel stove installed in my living room. There is no fireplace so it will be free standing. The flue can go straight up and I've read if I use a Selkirk twin flue straight from the stove it can be 50mm from combustibles. For the floor I plan to use 50mm Caithness slate. My problem is the stove must be 800mm from combustibles and at the moment the wall is plasterboard onto wooden studs. Is there some way I can reduce the distance from the back of the stove to the wall by using appropriate material, such as tiles, on the wall? The stove can be 75mm away from non-combustibles.
Just a note, I won't be installing the stove myself, but thought rather than waste someones time I should find out if what I want to do is even possible. 80cm away from the wall would be a deal breaker really. It is going to be a couple of weeks before someone even has the time to come round to survey.
