Hi,
I've read several discussions about creating these "register plates" that you need in order to block off a chimney opening when installing a solid fuel stove. The concensus seems to be that you can either construct one from sheet metal, or from multiboard/fireboard/masterboard etc.
The problem I'm having is trying to get hold of the materials - I'd favour the fireproof board option, as I imagine you can cut this quite simply and relatively accurately with a jigsaw, but I can only find it for sale in 8x4 sheets costing £80+. I only need about 3x1 !
Does anyone know of a supplier that can do such a small size? I live in Leeds but am prepared to travel if it saves me cash...
Many thanks in advance,
Tom
