DIDO.1 22,844 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) I'm in the process off knocking my fireplace out to fit a log burner. I quite like this design, plain white walls. Iv fitted ones for family but just used brick to build a simple square fireplace. If I board it out with fire resistant board what does it get skimmed with? Normal plaster? Will that not just crack with the heat? Edited July 23, 2018 by DIDO.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

myersbg 1,385 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 render it up with a lime based mortar or it will crack like hell 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
si brown 8,486 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 you could pva the sh1t out of the board but I recon the plaster will still drop off/fracture like myersbg said above lime render is good...I’d rough it out from the brickwork and forget the board on the sides! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Archi 46 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) If you use an powerpanel aqua board to board out all you have to do is paint in. can it from jewsons or Travis at about £30/sheet this is what our fitters do and did on mine as well with no issues Edited July 23, 2018 by Archi 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But then iv always been an all rounder rough no far from it.looks great.i see you have fitted a dust suppression unit to the left hand side.that could double as a fire doubter incase a big unannounced storm rolls in from the west. i bet kanny is allready on the hammer and bolster smashing holes to accept some pipe work. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
