Love your copper wall! What gauge? How wide? Where to purchase?

I'm looking for just this great look. So glad you shared the photo with me. I have the chocolate enamel wood stove as well and yours looks wonderful. Thank you, Linda

Hi Linda,

It's 28 guage copper sheeting, 4 feet by 6 feet, purchased from a local woodstove shop. It's spaced off the wall with noncombustible spacers and the woodstove is 12" from the shield.

Good luck!

Thanks, Ace. My ceiling is 7 1/2'. How far up the wall is yours? How did you edge it? I'm keeping the 4' width so the edge will be even. Also, cleaning? Heat discoloration? Linda

It's a client's house, and I believe it went up 6 feet. The cut edge was bent over. I'm not sure how they cleaned it, there was some discoloration over time. But it still was so beautiful. Ace
