heat resistant do-dahs

[king.module]

morning all

we finally managed to pickup our log burning stove the other day (very nice 1930s art deco affair). unfortunately when you walk across the room the vibration is picked up in the stove and it rattles (stove on tiled hearth in chimney - flooring = floor boards ).

i reckon something like a bit of rubber or wood would do the trick to dampen down any vibration but unfortunately the legs are cast iron so i reckon they'll get pretty darn hot when the stove is in use - anyone any ideas for a substitute dampener...


cheers

Sorry, couldn't resist!

You don't say whether this is on the ground floor...

If you're saying the feet get hot, I would be carefull as to what you place under the feet.

If the hearth is resting on the floor, the only thing I can think of to rectify the problem satisfactorily, is to double up on the joists to prevent movement. Or build a couple of pillars and cross brace. But without seeing or having other information it's difficult to tell.

that's why i'm asking - lol

it's on the ground floor but we have a cellar underneath (so floorboards) - it rests in a tiled health about 1 1/2 inchs thick (or whatever the regulations were when i put it in).

i don't think it needs anything fancy just a little something to stop the vibrations coming through - i thought about that cloth that goes around oven doors to create a seal??

Why not make a small template of the leg bottom from 4mm ply or simliar, cut it out, them fill the template void with black (assuming stove is black?) silicone sealeant, then when it has cured you will have an anti vibration pad with extreme heat resiting properties, that you will hardly notice?

That sir, is a top idea...
the stove is actually a kind of enamelled purple (don't you just love deco!) but by-eck bigdave i reckon your onto something.

might even pop down to *ahem* b&Q at lunchtime to see what goo they do.
