Stove Register Plate

For a normal gas fire 1/8" will be ok,but a stove needs metal.

You still have to seal around the edges with cement.

That's what I did in mine but I used stainless steel folded 25mm all round then predrilled the holes in the fold down and used normal plugs with stainless screws,also spread fire cement on fold before fitting and it gives a more secure seal.the folded area was slightly sloped out on all sides.It is much harder to work with but as I have no liner in my chimney I felt it was more secure.As you have liner mild steel would be more than adequate.

If I may ask,how much did you pay for the mild steel? Last job I done the guy paid 18GBP for a sheet of cement board. Bitch of a job doing it that way.

Did not pay for the stainless steel,I managed to get a offcut that was just right for my requirements from a friend

You owe your friend a couple of pints then. :-)

Aluminium or Mild steel plate is expensive, particulary when the thickness exceeds 1.5mm

I just paid =A315 for 1000mm x 300mm galvanised 1.5mm thick steel plate to use as a register plate, it cuts quite easily with a jigsaw and tabs for fixing can be bent over with pliers.

It would have cost =A390 to get it cut to size with holes etc.
