Are Earthborn paints suitable for use behind wood burners?
Earthborn Claypaint has a high clay content and is free from acrylics and oils, so it can withstand very high temperatures (up to 80°C) without affecting the finish. It has also been certified with a Class ‘0’ reaction to fire rating, which you can read more about here. Its flat matt finish complements the soft glow of a fire and adds to the cosy feel of the space. For more tips on painting behind wood burners or fireplace surrounds.
