Hi all
I'm planning on installing a worktop in my utility room along the length of the wall in this photo:
Height wise it will be just above the washing machine and boiler, so I'm going to have to cut a section out of the worktop to allow for the flue:
I wondered how much of a concern the heat from the flue will be? The metal plate that the flue comes out of also gets pretty hot.
How much of a gap should I allow, and do I need to use any kind of product to make it safe from the heat?
On a related subject, what can be used down the side of an oven (electric in my case) to stop the heat causing damage to the unit next to it? I have freestanding units, so there is a gap of around 5-6cm between the side of the oven and the unit next to it.
Cheers
Max
