Mi Fires Solway Installation Process and Technical Considerations

The installation of this stunning Mi Fires Solway stove required careful planning and precise execution. Upon arrival at the property, we were pleased to find that the homeowner had already prepared a beautiful slate hearth, providing the perfect foundation for their new heating appliance.

Our first task was to position the stove in the agreed location, ensuring it would become a natural focal point in the room while providing optimal heat distribution. Once positioned correctly, we began constructing the twin-walled flue system.

Using adjustable twin wall piping allowed us to create a bespoke flue system perfectly tailored to the specific dimensions of the property. As experts in Multifuel Stove Install Carmarthen projects, we carefully guided the system through an existing roof flashing, maintaining the structural integrity of the roof while creating a weatherproof seal.

Inside the building, we secured the system with an adjustable roof support bracket, providing essential stability for years of reliable use.

External Flue System Installation

The external portion of the installation required equal attention to detail. As Specialist flue installers Carmarthen homeowners can trust, we continued building the flue system up the exterior wall, securing it firmly with a wall bracket to provide crucial support against wind and weather.

The finishing touch to the external installation was fitting a cowl to the top of the system, which prevents rain ingress while allowing smoke to exit freely.

For additional strength and durability, especially important in the sometimes challenging Welsh weather conditions, we installed roof support stays to the flue. This extra reinforcement ensures the system will remain secure and functional for many years to come.

Mi Fires Solway Stove Features and Specifications

The Mi Fires Solway 5KW multifuel stove selected by our client offers exceptional performance and versatility. This contemporary model features a robust cast iron construction with a modern aesthetic that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors.

The large viewing window provides an excellent view of the flames, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. The Solway boasts impressive efficiency ratings exceeding 80%, meaning more of the heat produced remains in the home rather than escaping up the chimney.

Its multifuel capability allows the homeowner to burn either wood or solid fuels, providing greater flexibility depending on fuel availability and preference.

Additional features include primary and secondary air controls for precise burning management, a convenient ash pan for easy cleaning, and a clean burn airwash system that helps keep the glass clear while reducing emissions.

Safety Testing and Completion

Safety is always our highest priority with any installation. After completing the physical installation, we conducted a comprehensive series of safety checks. This included fitting a carbon monoxide alarm in accordance with current regulations and installing a data plate containing essential information about the installation.

We then performed a smoke test to ensure all connections were sealed correctly and a flue draught test to confirm proper air flow through the system. These tests are crucial for verifying that the stove will operate efficiently and safely, which is a standard practice in all our Multifuel stove installations.

Once all safety checks were successfully completed, we thoroughly cleared the work area, ensuring the property was left clean and tidy. As a final touch, we lit a small fire to demonstrate to the client how easily their new stove ignites and operates.

Delighted Customers and Exceptional Results

Our clients were absolutely thrilled with their new Mi Fires Solway stove. They were particularly impressed with our team’s attention to detail and the seamless integration of the stove and flue system into their home.
