Looking for information on how to 'backfill' a fireplace

[Greystoke]

Hello all,

I have a victorian cast iron fireplace that I need to backfill, but can't for the life of me find any information on how to do this. Does anyone know of any websites or books that could point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance...

Hi,

Just done this myself with vermiculite/micafil.

See

for more info.

Cheers Dan

Thanks Dan, looks like a good article. One question - did you use a fireback, or just backfill against the fireplace directly?

Cheers, Colin.
