Charlton & Jenrick Fireline FPi8 Inset - DEFRA Approved, Eco Design 2022 Multifuel Stove - Natural Heating / Norfolk

 

Charlton & Jenrick FPi8 inset stove with 4 sided trim - 8kw multi fuel stove (heat output range of 5.5 > 11kw to the room)

With this one, customer came to me with a mid size open fire place, which had a slate slip backing and stone surround. The fireplace opening was technically too large for the size of the internal flue diameter - so the option really was to fit a stove. 

However, fireplaces in houses built mid 1960's onwards typically don't open out very big and it would be especially difficult to try and remove the surround without damage (to be refitted) as required.

The customer had a large room and needed a larger output stove - yet the actual opening was only capeable of taking a small sized 5kw at best.

What to do?

I came up with the idea of laying a concrete pad within the opening and having a custom cut insert plate made to cover over the slate slips and sprayed black to match the stove - that way, we could leave everything exactly as it was but make the front look nice ... slide in a large cassette / insert type stove ( we had an option which was a perfect fit) and finish off with a 4 sided trim to complete.

These photos were kindly sent to me by the customer. I must say - it's turned out lovely ! 

Stove was supplied by Natural Heating and fitted by HETAS engineer Jim Brown from Diss (not on social media so cannot tag).

Was much too hot to light and commission... so I believe the customer is due a visit back shortly for this to happen.

Huge thanks to Chris for sharing photos of his lovely new fire !
