Many Stove installers generally start the stove installation process by placing one on the floor and then drilling and bolting the piece of shield into the wall. They make sure to provide a gap between the wall and shield by first attaching 1x1 inch wood strips to the wall by means of nails and then the shield. The stove should be positioned at a minimum length of 18 inches from a shielded wall and 36 inches from any flammable substance. These dimensions are applicable to the chimney also.
