the wall has never been painted beforeWhat kind of paint / primer should i use on a cinder block wall behind a wood burning stove?
With all due respect, I'll assume the issue involves aesthetics. One issue I guess I'd want to know is,,,How close to the wall is the stove? That will make a difference.





I was born and raised on a farm, long ago, and a wood stove was our only stove and kitchen heat source, but my recollection is that we had wall paper on plaster walls, surrounding the stove.





In your case, without any other detail at all, why not overlay the wall with something? Where is the stove? Kitchen? or in a livingroom, as so many are. Is it used for cooking or a decorative/practical heating device?What kind of paint / primer should i use on a cinder block wall behind a wood burning stove?
i wouldn't paint behind stove(fire Hazard) it needs a fire blanket put on wall. dad has one in garage. Thats probably why not painted. Just my opinion
if you want to do something behind the stove, i would move the stove farther from the wall, and then put a shield on the wall. i know concrete is not combustible but a foot away-----? as for paint, ask a painter.
perhaps Bin Sealer.
Concrete primer %26amp; heat resistant paint.
For safety reasons, I would suggest a metal panel that mounts to the block wall directly behind the stove. They come in different styles. You can usually find them at retailers that sell free standing fireplaces, wood heaters, ect.


Not only would this be safer, it will help reflect the heat from behind the stove into the room.
Go to the paint store and talk to them. They would be the ones to recommend the correct type of paint to use.
