Ovale Tall Pedestal Stove Installation Process and Technical Specifics

The Wood Burning Stove Install in Felinfoel, Llanelli presented us with the interesting challenge of installing a flue system through a conservatory roof. The clients had selected the sleek Ovale Tall on Pedestal model, which features contemporary styling with its distinctive teardrop shape and modern pedestal base.

Our first task was positioning the stove on the customer-supplied teardrop slate hearth. This hearth not only meets safety regulations but also complements the modern aesthetic of the Ovale stove. We then carefully measured and marked the ceiling for the flue exit, ensuring precise alignment for optimal performance.

The installation required cutting through multiple layers: plasterboard ceiling, Celotex insulation, and the shingle roof. We employed a methodical approach, first drilling a pilot hole through the roof and then using a grinder to create the precise aperture needed for the flue system.

Advanced Flue System Installation Techniques

Building the flue system was a meticulous process that demanded both technical expertise and attention to detail. We began from inside, constructing the Mi TW Pro Black 5″ flue system, which offers excellent heat resistance and durability. The system was carefully extended through the roof and secured using a robust roof support bracket for stability.

To ensure weatherproofing, we fitted a rubber flashing, sealed the edges with silicone, and bolted it into position using tech bolts. This created a watertight seal around the flue penetration, protecting the property from potential water ingress.

The flue system was extended to the appropriate height to ensure optimal draw and comply with building regulations. We then fitted a wall bracket to the flue for additional stability, followed by a storm collar and cowl to prevent rainwater entry and deter birds from nesting.

Ovale Tall Pedestal Stove Features and Performance Benefits

The Ovale Tall on Pedestal stove installed in this Felinfoel home offers numerous impressive features that make it an excellent choice for the conservatory setting. With its 5kW heat output, this stove provides efficient heating for the space while maintaining a relatively small footprint.

The stove boasts a clean-burn airwash system that helps keep the glass clear while reducing emissions. Its modern styling with the pedestal base creates a floating appearance that adds to the contemporary feel of the conservatory. The stove’s high-quality cast iron construction ensures excellent heat retention and longevity, making it both a practical and aesthetic investment for the homeowners.

The efficiency rating of over 80% means that more of the heat generated goes into warming the room rather than being lost up the chimney, resulting in lower fuel consumption and better value for money over the lifetime of the appliance.

Safety Measures and Client Handover by Wood Burner installers Llanelli, Carmarthenshire

Safety is always our top priority on every installation. Inside the property, we fitted a carbon monoxide alarm at the appropriate height and distance from the appliance, ensuring compliance with current regulations. We also installed the manufacturer’s data plate in an accessible location, providing essential information about the stove and installation.

Before completing the project, we conducted a comprehensive smoke test of both the fire and flue system to verify that all connections were secure and the draw was functioning correctly. We also took a flue draught reading and recorded it in our commission sheet, documenting the installation’s compliance with safety standards.

To ensure the clients could enjoy their new stove safely and confidently, we provided a detailed explanation of its basic operation and demonstrated proper lighting techniques with a small fire. This hands-on approach helps our customers understand how to get the most from their new heating appliance while maintaining safety.
