Closing off chimney with mortar
Hi,
We have just finished exposing a large old kitchen fireplace from behind a fair quantity of plaster, bricks and various other material, and we now want to close off the old chimney flue so that the fireplace and hearth are open and cleaned. Our neighbours upstairs has the same chimney in her kitchen and people who lived there before her seem to have closed it off with cement/mortar. They seem to have used a mould as the mortar is perfectly applied. Does anyone know how this is done? I was thinking of using MDF but eventually the dampness would go through -it's also very dirty in there. If anyone knows what is the best way to block it off / cement it, an answer would be much appreciated. Thank you Rgards Thierry |
