Yeah, nice – I’m liking the side window stoves like the Morso 7443 😎

Thanks, but a little bit too traditional looking wise for what I’m after

You mean something like the Bradgate 9305-C?

Nice, yeah I’m not after the more traditional styled soves, so yeah, this works style-wise for me 😎

Nice-looking stoves 😎

any recommendations on stoves that do or have this?

Hi, I’m looking at getting a clean-burning 5 kw Wood/Multifuel stove as part of my Small Mission Hall renovation project in the Outer Hebrides (no, I don’t have access to a peat bank) Unfortunately, I didn’t realise just how many different options and makes of stoves that exist out there! 😳 Hoping that I might be able to get a bit of advice or recommendations as to ones that are worth looking at (or avoiding!), to try and help narrow down my search a little… Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated!

don't suppose anyone knows of a bowstring truss calculator or anything? 🤣

sorry, yes, I meant as in supporting a small mezzanine floor!

OK, I’m wondering if this is even possible there, so please bear with me on this… not a huge span (4.500mm), the max depth in the centre is around 360mm, and the max depth at the ends of 115mm. Would this be possible?

OK, to make things easier if anyone is interested, you can follow progress here… https://www.smallmissionhall.com/

True, I’m just not a fan of plasterboard as a surface finish. I’m the 0.01% who wants something else 🤣

I will try Envirograf again, as I haven't heard back at the moment.

Don’t suppose you still have their details to ask? 🤣 Just enquiring about 9mm Magply Euroclass A1 Non-Combustible Board 2400 x 1200mm as an option

No joy as yet, the issue seems to be that Building standards require 30 min fire resistance, primarily because I hope to have a small mezzanine floor area for sleeping, which so far, no manufacturer can apparently meet. Struggling to find a viable alternative to plasterboard, which I would like to avoid if at all possible (single-use product, non-reusable or repurpose and you have to pay to dispose of it)
