Morning folks,
Decided that due to the chimney / fireplace on my house being utter bobbins, we're going to brick it up at the bottom and create one of those fireplaces that's just for effect (which the better half will probably put candles / shiny things in etc etc ). I'm aware that as I brick it up I'll need to put some air bricks in to create enough draft to keep the stack from getting over damp - and was thinking about 4 - 2 side by side (ish) at the bottom, and 2 about half way up. Would this be enough to ensure the stack gets enough air up it to stop is being a problem over time? Or should I have more? Is heat loss an issue in the winter if I have too many airbricks? as I'll be relying on the rads to keep the room warm...
*I love Mondays*
