I currently have Hardiebacker cement board serving as a shield with Durarock Next Gen on the wall (secured with metal studs).
I've decided I want to top vent the stove which will require me to add to the height of the shield (hardiebacker) and wall board (next gen).
I've read that these boards are not approved for hearth construction......but is there any issue with using them as a shield/wall board?
If so, is there any other product I should be looking at? Wonderboard maybe?
Thanks
