Stove Project Overview

We were contacted to do a survey at a city center property, our customers were at the beginning of a large house renovation project and wanted to have their old wood burning stove replaced. They opted to open up the fireplace and have their new, modern-looking stove sit in a recess. Our customers were drawn to Parkray’s Aspect range which not only offers a sleek design with a large viewing window but also is ranking highly on efficiency. Taking the size of the room into consideration, a Parkray Aspect 5 was chosen.

Parkray Aspect 5 offers a combination of stylish aesthetics, a substantial window as well as easy controls. It is powered with 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 surround and heart were removed and work began to create an approximately 900mm x 900mm fireplace opening. Our engineers installed a new reinforced concrete and steel lintel and lined the newly created recess with a fireboard in preparation to be painted by our customers. Once recess works were completed, our engineers installed a 2 piece of decorative slate hearth as well we an oak-style beam fixed to the face of the chimney breast. Next, the chimney was swept and lined with a Schiedel 316-grade twin skin flue liner and the stove was placed into a position. 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.
