Power flue installation

Jul 11, 2005 1 Replies

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.



No lintel required for holes up to 150mm AFAIK. Read the gas fire instructions.
