Sorry for the delayed response. Correct. Shiplap is considered combustible and shouldn't be used near/behind ranges. Options like cement board, hardiboard/hardiplank, and other non-combustible options can give the look of shiplap without the hazard.
I am considering the hardiplank backsplash but am wondering if I can cover over my existing tile with the hardiplank. We are looking for a backsplash update that won't require us to remove current tile, and I really like this look.
