Stove Project Overview
Hot Box Stoves was asked to remove and replace an old boiler stove. Our customers wanted to keep the works to a minimum and didn’t want any changes made to their existing recess. Taking into account the size of the room and the style requirements, our project manager suggested Parkray Aspect 5 Compact.
The Parkray Aspect 5 Compact is a wood-burning stove designed for smaller spaces. It features a contemporary design with a large glass window, allowing for a clear view of the flames.
It has a nominal heat output of 5kW, it is highly efficient, with a rating of 80%, meaning it will burn less wood and produce more heat. It is constructed from high-quality materials and is DEFRA-approved for use in smoke control areas.
The Parkray Aspect 5 Compact is a stylish and practical choice for those looking for an efficient and compact wood-burning stove.
INSTALLATION
To begin with, temporary protection was placed in all areas where work was to be carried out and a gas-safe engineer was instructed to cut/cap off the gas to the recess. The old fire was removed and the chimney was swept and lined with a Schiedel 316-grade twin skin flue liner.
The new 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.
