You have a wood-burning stove. You light it, and it creates that warm, cozy atmosphere you love… and suddenly, you notice the wall behind it doesn’t look quite the same. A gray stain appears, the paint changes color, or even a small crack shows up.
Don’t worry: it’s much more common than it seems. And the best part? There’s a solution — stylish, and with no need for renovations.
Panadero stoves are designed to direct heat forward safely and efficiently. But like in any thermal system, a small amount of heat radiates backwards. And if the wall isn’t properly prepared, it can suffer:
Tiny particles that settle on the wall from daily use, especially if the draft isn’t perfectly adjusted.
Prolonged high temperatures can affect standard paint or textured finishes, leaving marks or stains.
Plaster or thin partitions expand and contract with heat. Over time, small fissures appear.
These types of marks don’t mean misuse or a faulty installation. They simply point to a detail that often goes unnoticed: the space around your stove should also be planned intentionally.
A quick and highly effective option: install a painted metal sheet or steel panel behind the stove. Leave a few centimeters between it and the wall. The result: protection and decoration.
Customize it with heat-resistant paint in white, black, or terracotta, and add a backlit LED strip for a warm, modern glow.
If you love artisanal finishes, ceramic tiles are your best friend. You can cover just the lower part of the wall—like a backsplash—and play with classic, vintage, or minimalist designs.
They withstand heat, clean easily, and are long-lasting.
Today, there are adhesive decorative panels that mimic natural stone or brick. They’re lightweight, easy to install, and perfectly resist the heat from a wood-burning stove. The result can be rustic or industrial, depending on your style.
Sometimes, the best solutions don’t need to be found—they’re already there. When you choose a stove with a well-thought-out design, certain details seem resolved before they even become a problem.
Not all stoves are installed the same way. Some come with small built-in advantages that make a big difference—especially when every corner of the home matters. If you’re thinking of installing or upgrading your stove, you might discover this concern has already been addressed, before you even ask.
Beyond protecting the wall, a wood-burning stove should be easy to care for. At Panadero, we design our models with one clear goal: so you can enjoy the fire, not worry about the upkeep.

Taking care of your Panadero stove doesn’t require effort—just care.
Wall dirt behind the stove doesn’t have to be a problem. In fact, it can be the perfect excuse to refresh your favorite spot. A metal panel, beautiful tiles, or a well-thought-out solution from the start can make all the difference.
Because a wood-burning stove isn’t just heat. It’s home. It’s tradition. It’s life. And at Panadero, we’ve spent over 70 years designing stoves that understand that from within.
