Heat resistant wall filler

BoardsRanger

Hi,

Just looking for some advice on a filler for a hole in a wall. There will be a freestanding cooker up against the wall so i presume i need some heat resistant filler? Any advice appreciated.

No should not need to be heatresistant as you will need some sort of splashback even glass. But if your set on using heat resistant filler there is a brand called fireseal they come in a filler and silicone make sure you get the filler as you can paint on the silicone. The filler is black and grey which means you will need to paint. These products should be available in woodies

I really dont see how a standard filler wont do though!

Thanks for the reply. The hole is not up by high near the splashback. It is about a foot from floor level and the cooker will be up tight against it.
I will look for the fireseal filler, cheers.

Nor do I.
Normal polyfilla is heat resistant once set. It doesn't burn, or melt, doesn't turn powdery or fail in any way.

I'd be more worried about the heat resistant porperties of whatever you put on top of the filler tbh...

down behind the cooker, normal filler will do, wont be any great heat as the back of the cooker is well insulated, no need for any fancy stuff

Cheers- i ended up going for normal filler as i couldnt find any of the fireseals products or similar. Sure it may do!
