Fire resistant wall materials. Walls clad in less fire resistant materials such as vinyl or wood siding should incorporate fire resistant wallboard with the siding attached directly to the wallboard on the exterior surface. Depending on the construction and thickness of the wall a brick wall can achieve a 1 hour to 4 hour fire resistance rating. The fire rating of faswall wall construction materials is 4 hours with zero flame spread and no smoke development astm c 119 88 e 84 89a.

Fire retardant materials are designed to burn slowly. The standard minimum clearance for radiant wood stoves is 36 inches according to the national fire protection association nfpa. Advertisement so although some materials are more fire resistant than others several factors might influence a builder s decision including cost effectiveness ease of installation and climate. The best wall shields help to radiate the heat from the stove into the room.
