Hi as I am renovating my main room I am building a false chimney breast and have decided to incorporate an inset multi fuel stove, and was wondering how feasible an idea it is. Obviously the new part of the chimney breast can be built of non combustible material but the back of the chimney breast will be the original dot and dab plasterboard. Will this plasterboard have to be removed or can I put some sort of shield on the back of the CB, or on the flue that will go up it? Also how does it affect the visible front face of the CB, will it need special plasterboard and plaster? Thanks.
