Normally fireproof board on the inside edge only. If its very near then put an air gap between the board and the beam using spacers at each end. You cant put it underneath as it would look dreadful. Available from decent builders merchants.

 

In this case the wall that the beam is mounted on is sufficient IMHO, but the person signing it off as safe to use has the final word. The clearance underneath simply needs to be in excess of the stove manufactures recommendations in their installation manual. If there is no recommendation contact the stove seller or the manufacturer/importer themselves. From personal experience I would recommend going at least 25mm higher that the manufacturers minimum.

Cheers, should have been clearer with what I meant. I have a Rayburn in the kitchen that has units near it and I want to add some type of fire protection to the side of the units. For this what would you recommend?

 

Thanks

Fireproof plasterboard-

Otherwise known as 'asbestalux'-

Its like plasterboard with extra fire retardency, and doesn't have the paper covering. We used it to go either side and behind our rayburn.

How close are your friends units to your Rayburn?

 

Is this the stuff you mean:

That's got a paper finish , so not advised . you can get decorative fire board which could work. Have a look at http://www.vitcas.com/fireboard
