Is foil backed plasterboard suitable to screw directly into a brick fireplace wall and if so, does the plasterboard go behind the fireplace or up to the surround?
My fireplace is a 1 piece cast iron combination wood burning fireplace.
I worry that the cast iron will get hot and either burn the plasterboard or destroy the foil.
Any links to installing a 1 piece cast iron fireplace with pitfalls and how to deal with issues would be helpful as well. My fireplace doesn't seem to sit very far back into the builders opening and I can see where smouldering embers can backflow up the sides and to the top of the surround- unless, that is expected?
thanks.
