Unveiling the Chilli Penguin Billie Gento 5KW: Installation Process and Features

This Resolven installation of the Chilli Penguin Billie Gento 4KW stove presented unique challenges and considerations.

Our experienced team at Hopkins Log Burners began by carefully locating the original flue, which had been used in a previous stove installation.

This allowed us to optimise both the efficiency and safety of the new installation.

Fire Safety Preparations

As with any stove installation, fire safety was paramount. We started by cutting and fitting the A1-rated fireboard into the ceiling.

This critical step ensured that the setup met all relevant fire regulations, providing peace of mind for the homeowners.

Wall Cladding and Structural Support

Next, we set about cladding the wall using stone Z-clad.

This process involved building up the cladding from floor to ceiling, adding not only an eye-catching aesthetic but also strengthening the structure with tile adhesive and screw fixings.

This ensured that the wall could support the weight of both the stove and the flue system.

Connecting and Aligning the Stove

After completing the wall cladding, we moved on to aligning the stove and running a vitreous pipe through the wall to connect with the flue.

One of the standout aspects of this installation was the decision to spray the vitreous pipe in a deep red to perfectly match the stove itself, adding a striking visual element that gave the stove an integrated, designer look.

Final Touches and Commissioning

With everything in place, we carefully commissioned the stove, ensuring it was functioning at optimum efficiency.

Every aspect of the installation was double-checked for safety and performance before handing it over to the client.

Overcoming Installation Challenges

This installation wasn’t without its challenges.

As we were dealing with a terraced property, space constraints required careful planning, particularly in accessing and aligning the flue system through the existing wall.

Additionally, the structural integrity of the wall had to be reinforced to support the added weight of the stone cladding.

Our team meticulously planned each phase, applying their experience to overcome these challenges without compromising the quality or safety of the installation.

Client Feedback: A Seamless Experience with Hopkins Log Burners

The homeowners were delighted with the finished result, expressing their appreciation for our team’s attention to detail and commitment to safety.

They particularly loved the custom red finish on the pipe, which added a personal touch to the design.

Images of the installation process are available, showcasing the transformation from preparation to completion.
