Stove - Hetas Installer or Building Control Certified?

Just pulled an installation out yesterday. 2 x 2 timber frame holding up a plasterboard closure plate. Nice. The frame was scorched and charred.

I've used cement board in a fireplace recess around a stove and that's cracked behind the stove. Which is fairly disappointing. I'm considering using Vitcas fireproof screed instead. This product is quite expensive has anyone used anything else that is cheaper with any success ?

I used lime render in my fireplace recess with no problems at all. Very inexpensive too. Just finish it off with several light coats of limewash. Need to dry out slowly though so best to wait for warm weather when you are not likely to use your stove.

Why comment on a thread thats 10 months old ?, and be careful not to advertise....its against MSE forum rules !

You would have been better off commenting on a different more upto date thread for starters.
