I'm planning to dry line the walls of a room with 2" battens, 2" polystyrene between them and 1/2" plasterboard on top. The plasterboard will then be painted (no plaster or wallpaper). I also want to install a woodburner in the room (obviously I will have to allow for a hole in the wall for the flue to go into the chimney, which will be lined with a flexible flue liner).
What I need to know is: how far should the woodburner be from the walls in order to stop it damaging them. Although I know that plasterboard is fire retardant, I assume you can't have a heat source too close to them permanently. Is the 6" of hearth enough, or do I need more?
