Heat Shield for wood stove

I am having a piece of 1/8 in sheet metal cut for me tomorrow. I have used cement board (Durarock, Wonderboard, ect.) with tile. Here is a link to my stoves manual Encore
Take a look at the clearnces section. Also the folks at hearthnet are a great resource. I'm going with steel for looks and ease of installation.

We took the wall out, just the section for the stove, behind the stove and put cinder block caps cemented together .Refaced with cement board with the fake stones cemented to it.You will have to cut a two by four off to fit the caps it in the wall. (if it hits one).Don't forget to take the insulation out first.Hope this makes sense. Had no trouble with insurance doing it this way. They can be picky about it.

Here is a link for woodstoves and parts at Ace hardware - they will ship to your door - I also found heat shields on their website. type in "stoves" on the keywords search - they have several pages of sotvoes and stove stuff.

thanks everyone for the help.
