I tried a search for this on the site but didnt find anything so. I was looking at some Durock at Menards to use as wall protection when I saw a product right next to it called GreenE-Board. The specs say it is non=combustable and it comes in 1/4" thickness which is the thickness I would like to use. Its pretty attractive unpainted and would look good all by itself with no further painting. Has anyone used this for reducing clearances in thier Hearth design?

Interesting stuff. It looks like they recommend tiling the board for use behind stoves.

Tile Backer for Fireplace Inserts and WoodStoves

GreenEboard™ is rated non-combustible and is
suitable as a tile backer for fireplace inserts and
wood stoves. Follow installation guidelines
provided here for interior installation, and
provided by the stove or insert manufacturer,
and local building codes. Framing around
fireplace inserts must be constructed to
withstand the expansion and contraction of the
appliance, and must be flat and true.
GreenEboard™ must not be fastened to the heat
shield of the appliance.

GreenEboard™ is not recommended as a finish
material behind wood stoves. Tile, stone, or
other non-combustible finish materials should be
installed over GreenEboard™ in compliance with
local building codes.
