Installation Journey: From Concept to Completion

Laying the Foundations

The project commenced with the preparation of an 800mm quadrant slate hearth. This involved the precise marking and cutting of the laminate flooring and bedding the slate with cement to ensure a stable foundation for the stove.

Stove Placement and Ducting

Measuring and aligning the stove was executed with precision to ensure an even placement on the slate. The Miflue Twin Wall flue was expertly navigated through the wall and into the bathroom, then vertically through the flat roof. This phase was critical in ensuring the stove’s optimal functionality and compliance with regulatory standards.

Securing and Polishing

Further securing the installation within the roof space involved the use of a rafter bracket and strategic positioning to avoid the soffit with 45° bends. The internal fitment of trim plates added the finishing touches, complementing the polished slate with slate oil for a refined appearance.

Overcoming Challenges with Ingenuity

The installation journey was not without its challenges. Navigating the flue through the existing structure required innovative solutions, including the precise angling and securing within confined spaces. The team’s expertise in adhering to regulations while ensuring the aesthetic integrity of the installation was paramount in overcoming these obstacles.
