Heat resistant plywood

Hi,

Is there such thing as heat resistant plywood?

I have a wall that I want to finish in plywood and the put a wall heater on it.

Many thanks in advance.

Use whatever plywood you want. Mount backer board with air space between heater and wall. It will be safer and give you a little more convection of the heated air.

What do the heater specs say about standoff?

The first thing to do is consult the installation spec for your unspecified type of heater.

In most jurisdictions (1) You may be obliged to conform to the fire safety code. You may also need a building permit. (2) Your household insurance agent wants to know about this sort of thing (and your insurance may be denied if you fail to inform him.)

A single visit to the municipal building permits office may answer most of your questions. My local office gave me (free) copies of the dozen pages of the fire code that concerned my installation. These included lists of acceptable building materials, clearances (minimum gaps between hot components and combustiblel walls) etc.

No. Gypsum is better than plywood, sheet metal better yet.

Concrete board would transfer, dissapate heat and and maybe be code.

On typical plywood, what up to what temperatures is the glue designed to hold up?

It seems to hold up well burning in a fire when I have burnt it.
