Stove Project Overview
We were asked to supply and install a wood-burning stove in our customer’s living room. There was an old open fireplace that needed to be removed, and a large recess had to be created to accommodate their new stove. Taking into consideration, the size of the room as well as our customer’s look preference, our project manager suggested Parkray Aspect 5.
Parkray Aspect 5 offers a combination of stylish aesthetics, a substantial window, easy control, and Tripleburn® technology for eco-friendly, efficient burning. All Aspect stoves produce 5 times less smoke than required under the current Eco Design 2022 standards. The Aspect 5 Compact is highly controllable even though it has a nominal output of 5kW, the aspect 5 can reach an output as high as 6kW or as low as 4kW within seconds.
INSTALLATION
To begin with, temporary protection was placed in all areas where work was to be carried out. The old fire together with the old heart was removed and work began to create an approximately 900mm x 900mm fireplace opening which once completed was lined with a fireboard in preparation to be painted by our customers. Once recess works were completed, our engineers installed a 20mm thick decorative slate hearth.
Next, the chimney was swept and lined with a Schiedel 316-grade twin skin flue liner. The stove was placed into a position and a galvanised steel plate was fixed to the underside of the recess and sealed between the closure plate and chimney with high-temperature sealant. The stove was connected with the liner using twin wall chimney components as well as a stove pipe. The chimney flue was completed with the installation of a pot hanging cowl.
Once all debris was disposed of and the area where the stove was installed was cleaned, our HETAS registered engineers performed a smoke test using the one and only Firestarter. The smoke test ensures that there is an adequate degree of draw and that all connections are sealed. Finally, in accordance with building regulations, a CO/ Carbon Monoxide Alarm and a chimney notice plate were installed.
