hi
continuing on with my 80's dormer renovation, i'm now on to the lounge.
at this point with a view to installing a stove in the corner, is it worth me using fire resistant plasterboard or similar on the stud wall? i'll be installing rockwool slab insulation between the studs.
all the current floor is coming up and being replaced with osb3 t&g boards, i'll be installing 100mm foil faced pir between the joists (already have a few sheets i need to use), should i avoid using this around the fire area? also should i use any other kind of flooring around the fire area?
Wall will be stripped back/skimmed, sockets relocated and skirting board removed
Not sure whether i'll be going down the full install by a hetas installer, partial install myself if i can find someone happy for me to the donkey work etc or a full diy with BC.
Got to admit, some of the prices i've been quoted are eye-watering for full installs, which is pushing me towards doing it myself. Excellent site for diy info is stovefitterswarehouse.co.uk they design all the flue etc to current regs for you, the site itself is full of information.
many thanks for your time
