Stanley Erin stove

Iomega Man

Hi all,

Wasn't too sure where to place this but Mods move if you wish.

My problem is that I have a Stanley Erin stove in the kitchen and to one side of it is all the exposed pipework and circulating pump.
I think it looks unsightly and would like to box it all in somehow.
However I would be worried as to what type of material to use as the stove can get pretty hot!!
It can't be permanent as I may need to access the pump,pipework,thermostat in the future...
I tried to contact WS but keep getting an error message every time I submit the online query form.

Hope that someone will have some ideas!!

Thanks,

go to a mineral wool supplier, and ask/insist on a fire resistant insulation/separating material (100mm min thickness) and then just box it out in metal stud (or whatever the L shaped suspended-ceiling stuff is called) and plaster board.

Disguise it with a modified 'Log Box' type cover.

Cheers for the replies Guys.
Was thinking along those lines poor uncle tom.
Just wondering though, would plasterboard be able to withstand that type of heat at such close proximity??

Not even fireboard plasterboard will be able to take the heat - it will just crack. Try one of the fire fibreboards used in opes by fireproofing companies. You could then paint it. I did this and painted with a blackboard paint - which gives the appearance of slate. Worked a treat.

I too have the waterford erin , with only about 6 inch clearence at the top, i used the fireboard , with one self-inflicted problem, thought i did a great job cutting out the flue pipe, in reality was too good - flue expanded in the heat and put a small crack in the board, just something to watch out for, great we fire !!!

I was just checking out that fire fibreboard.
It looks like what I need all right.

Seems to be only available from specialist dealers or would most hardware stores stock it?

Hardware stores should have, mine come in 8x4 sheet.
