Stove Project Overview

We were asked to remove an old and unused gas file and replace it with a wood-burning stove. Our customers wanted a small stove with a large viewing window to be able to enjoy the view of the fire. Our project manager suggested a Parkray Aspect 4, which not only was a perfect size for the room but also offered a sleek design with a sizable window allowing a beautiful view of the flames.

Parkray Aspect 4 is the smallest of the Aspect collection, however, with Tripleburn® technology they produce an impressive 3-5.5kw of heat. It has a steel body and cast iron door that is easy to open with a cool touch handle. All Aspect stoves produce up to 7 times less smoke than required under the current Eco Design 2022 standards offering a fantastic efficiency rating of 81%. As standard this is a wood-burning appliance, however, an optional multifuel kit can be purchased separately.

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 together and the surround were removed and the back and sides of the newly opened-up recess were lined with a fireboard. Once recess works were completed, our engineers installed a Geocast beam above the recess.

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.
