Heat resistant covering
I am planning to create a BBQ splashback for the al fresco. When I say splashback - think basically an entire wall covering. From timber glued together.
I can see two issues:
1. The mass might make mounting it "fun". (Bolts into brick). So may have to mind the weight.
2. What do I finish it with to prevent the BBQ setting the whole thing on fire?
I did a quick search and it seems epoxy is good up to 80 degrees. Not sure what happens beyond that - probably burns down the entire street. Not sure.
I'm guessing an intelligent man would cover it with tempered glass?
I'm open to suggestions.My YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/2_KPRN6I9SE

What about miniorb. It will look good, reflect or conduct away most of the heat and the residual heat wont set the wood alight.

The only material that I can think of, other than glass, that might suit your purpose is Lexan (polycarbonate). It's hellishly expensive though.

I have not priced glass. From a practical point of view, the glass part would only need to be a 1m high section around bench height. However the timber will be sort of like an art work that covers the entire wall. So if it just had a 1m strip of glass, across the middle, I'm not sure how I would make that work aesthetically.
The good news is that it doesn't get any direct sun on that wall so UV light is not a concern.My YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/2_KPRN6I9SE

wood look ceramic tiles.
build the whole thing out of wood and just put a piece of fibre cement sheet, or steel plate behind the bbq bit, paint it or what ever.

The visual interest is what I will be doing with the timber. I am avoiding referring to it as a piece of art but it would help to think of it that way. So the whole concept is to see this pattern made from timber on the wall.
So just to clarify it's not: how do I DIY something onto a wall?, question. It's how do I protect a specific timber creation (mounted on the wall) from heat and BBQ grease?
The upper middle part of it will have a SS extractor mounted right in front of it. But the rest of it is to be fully visible.My YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/2_KPRN6I9SE
