Type of Material to place above a stove to deflect heat into the room

BMD · 23-11-2011 9:23am #1

Hi,

I have a solid fuel stove that is set into a chimney opening. I find that the majority of the heat is given off from the top of the stove and the underside of the chimney flue is absorbing most of this heat. Does anyone have any suggestions on some material (non-combustible) that I could fix to the underside of the flue to deflect the heat into the room?

i used skamolex board in mine, painted black.

does a good job, well my tv is above my stove and i've had no problems so far.

You could use something like Blu-clad offcuts to do that job. Cement board will probably work as well and be cheaper though.

You could try putting one of these on top of the stove

I have one of those eco fans on top of my Villager stove, it works well.:D

Black will absorb even more heat
