Chimney / ceiling is ugly. Ideas needed.
Hi Folks.
I've just moved into a new house and the previous DIYer put in a free standing fireplace. Where the flue goes into the insulated top chimney part (Technical name unknown , the hole in the ceiling looks like it was cut with an old toothbrush. The hole is to large for the chimney, out of centre and really ragged cut. I am looking to somehow hide this ugliness. Are there any products / trim for sale which will do the trick? Having a look on some fireplace sites, there is no mention of something I am looking for. Any ideas / pointers will be appreciated. TIA. Cheers, Crispin |
