Good afternoon, we have VC dauntless with corner installation. Professionally installed 2 years ago and meets all minimum clearances. We don’t use it for primary heat but enjoy it on weekends and snowy nights. My wife enjoys the clean look but I want an added layer of protection and peace of mind.
So I bought cement board and put tin ceiling tiles on it and then have a 1 inch air gap behind. These “heat shield panels” can be removed after the burning season. I just wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts on if I should do something different? The bottom will be 1 inch off the hearth with non combustible spacers underneath.
I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something that made things worse. Thanks for your time/attention.
