Questions on stoves and fireplaces

    Hey all-

    Just starting to lay blocks on a new build and the builder has asked me about chimney breast in my sitting room. The room is about 15.5 ft x 15.5 ft with 8.5 ft ceiling. I am going to sit a stove in a chamber with a marble fireplace surround. I was hoping to go for a 6ft chimney breast (72'') but I went to a reputable stove place yesterday and the guy in the shop recommended something smaller (64'' breast). Any advice appreciated-do not want to over size either-I realise standard fireplace surround is 54'' but was hoping to go for something a little bigger.

    He also recommended a 4-5 kw stove-I was looking more along the lines of a 6-8 KW. Again I do not want to overheat the place either. The guy said that a Franco Belge Savoy MK2 stove would be perfect. Has any one had any experience with these stoves-it will be non boiler (underfloor heating in house).

    I also am hoping to put a small insert stove (something around 4-5 KW) in my sunroom which is similar size to sitting room but will be lit less. Any recommendations-someone recommended the Pevex Serenity 40 (4.5 KW)-looks very efficient.

    Any advice or recommendation welcome

    Thanks in advance
