Finishing around stove

    Hi all

    I am currently plastering my new build. Attached is the hollow for the inset stove in my sunroom. I was wondering how best to finish both the space that is recieving the stove and wall of the chimney to prevent cracking in the future.

    How should I finish the chamber. The stove will completely fill the space therefore it will get very hot so should I use some sort of fireboard or is it ok. Also as regards the wall of the chimney, I have heard of an additive you can add to skim to make it more flexible to recieve heat. One person said I should not plaster the wall at all but to use special fireboard and then paint it.

    Any opinions welcome

    Put gypsum plasterboard on the chimney and skim the plasterboard, just some thing i have seen done to chimney breasts in the past. Maybe somebody else may have a better idea.

    Can´t give an answer on what finish to apply, but whatever you do, plaster the Chimney and the opening which receives the stove for airtightness with a decent coat of sand & cement.
