How to make a metal protection for your fireplace or wood-burning stove?

Whether you're a fan of wood-burning fireplaces or the very trendy pellet stove (pellets, granules, or wood), you are likely already enjoying this natural and eco-friendly heat source. Typically positioned in the center of a living space, unfortunately, the heat can cause your walls or floors to discolor. But don't panic! All you need is to protect your beautiful parquet, tiles, or walls from heat and falling embers with a metal protective plate. And there you have it! The problem is solved, and all that's left is to enjoy a cozy winter fire.

How to Choose Materials? 🔥

Material Selection:

For optimal protection, metal is ideal. Steel or stainless steel are perfectly suited for this use. For a wood-burning fireplace or a designer heating stove, a brushed stainless steel plate or raw stainless steel will protect your walls and floors without rusting.

Metal is also an excellent option. It resists heat and, moreover, it's easy to clean. On the ceiling or around the chimney flue, this material allows for many uses. Need a precise dimension that fits your interior?

No problem, our configurator will allow you to create a custom protective plate for your wood-burning fireplace or your pellet stove. If your metal plate is directly exposed to heat, you will then need to choose a greater thickness, which will also increase the thermal inertia of your room.

As our friend John would say, when there's more, there's still more. To add a vintage touch to your interior, I recommend raw steel, which will age based on your evenings by the fireside.

Top-Notch Installation:

Once your fireplace protective plate has been ordered and received, it's now time for installation. For a durable and resistant attachment to your walls and floors, I recommend using special heavy-duty mastic adhesive, suitable for maximum temperatures of 90°C.

⁉ Pro tip: leave 10 to 20 mm of space between your stove and your wall.

If your metal protective plate is exposed to higher temperatures, you will need to attach it with wall plugs and screws.

(psstt: no need for a drill for the holes in the sheet metal, our configurator knows how to do it very well)

j'envisage parmi plusieurs solutions d'utiliser une plaque pour cacher et protéger l'entrée du salon en parquet qui a été endommagé, j'en ai déjà une devant la cheminée, quel est votre avis ? Merci

Replied by: John Steel On 2023-10-10 Bonjour,
Je vous remercie pour votre commentaire.

Cela va fonctionner, la plaque fera office de protection au même titre que la plaque de cheminée.
Par contre, avec beaucoup de passage, prenez du brossé la plaque risque de se rayer rapidement.

Cordialement,
John

Bonjour,

Quel dimension en profondeur de plaque conseillez vous devant un insert?

Merci

Replied by: John Steel On 2022-09-21 Bonjour,

Qu'entendez-vous par profondeur devant un insert ?
Vous parlez de la longueur entre le bout de la plaque et le foyer ?
Si c'est bien cela, cela dépend de la taille d'ouverture, en général, 700 mm est un bon compromis, mais vous pouvez réduire à 500 mm, c'est viable également.

Cordialement,
Brigitte

Bonjour
Est ce que la plaque acier au sol se pose sur le plancher ou bien sur un support pour être au même niveau que le plancher ?

Replied by: John Steel On 2022-06-02 Bonjour Gilles,

Le placement de votre plaque dépend de votre plancher. Si votre plancher est un peu gondolé et ne permet pas d'avoir une bonne stabilité à votre plaque en métal, vaut mieux placer un support pour mettre à niveau. Cela permettrait d'éviter les risques de débordements, si vous voyez une instabilité, prévoyez cette solution-là !

J'espère avoir répondu au mieux à votre réponse, si vous avez d'autres questions n'hésitez surtout pas à nous en faire part !
Une bonne journée,
L'équipe John Steel.
