I am going to take the safe road anyway on this and get some heat resistant plate/material to go behind it, but does anyone know if it is actually a fire risk to have heater duct (aluminum material commonly used on the back of clothing driers) leaning against the wall? It is only a couple inches of material leaning on it, but appears like it would be a bad idea to me... it doesnt get hot enough to burn your hand, but does get very warm.
