Power flue installation
What's involved in installing a power flue gas fire on an external
wall? Are lintels normally required above the hole? I want to create a false chimney breast to give a 1970's room some character. Does this or the framework around the fire have to be made from blockwork? Also, anyone aware of hearth requirements for gas fires - ie. how big? Many thanks, BB. |
