Will your wood burning stove fit in your recess WITH the required air gaps around it? This is obviously not an issue if your stove will be freestanding.Another length of fire rope is inserted into the collar and fitted around the circumference of the flue pipe. Fire cement is now rammed into the collar so there are no air voids. The joint is then smoothed off and left for a while. Fire cement goes hard when exposed to heat. Many installers use fire mastic for this joint.

In the gaps, between of the masonary of the chimney and the metal plate they installed (Is this the register plate?), the installers appear to have put silicone sealant to stop the vermiculite coming down. but is appears to have all move and come away and now more gaps are there. again is this normal? The silicone is all around the flue pipe too as it goes through the metal plate? ABRASION/CRUSH RESISTANT - Graphite impregnation/lubrication makes gasketing more abrasion resistant.

We have 3 in our house and each time we put one in we had to run it for several hours with the windows wide open. The surround to the fireplace was rendered temporarily and will have a fire surround fitted later. See our project on inserting new fires to see some wonderful fire surrounds. The hearth to the fireplace was also added later and the size and construction of the hearth is also stipulated in the Building Regulations (J) document Stir the cement using your knife or trowel if it isn't premixed. Mix the cement until it is a uniform consistency, which allows for easier application. If your cement is premixed, you can skip this step.
