Stove pipe

[Thedreamer]

Doing that classic self building thing, changing plans.

 

Since we put up the chipboard flooring, we are rethinking about the use of the middle part of upstairs.

 

We are due to have a wardrobe, wc and store cupboard here, but now thinking of removing this and having a single small open living space. 

 

What I'm unsure of is the regulations concerning a stove pipe running through a room, do you have to plasterboard around a pipe or can you leave this exposed? Here is the plan.

What is the stove below ..? Is it just a straight double skin flue or some sort of masonry hearth ..? It may be easier to build up some sort of brick or masonry chimney through the building.

Yes, here is the ground floor plan. The ground floor is due to have blocks around the pipe to the ground floor ceiling and then it would have been in a plasterboard box, within the store cupboard. But if the store is gone the stove pipe will either need to be just visible or covered in some way.

Quite normal to have an exposed twin wall flue pipe.

 

The room it passes through will need a CO alarm.

Off topic but house looks great, and really similar plan to ours!

 

if it’s anything like ours you won’t need the stove!  Wife wanted one but we would never use it it’s like a sauna in here

Is your lounge open plan vaulted ceiling looking up to landing?

Yes partly vaulted.

 

I've got a few photos on my blog

Thanks for your kind words @Buster

 

It was actually going to ask if you could post some photo of your build, so thanks for that.

 

I really like your balustrade and the space you have behind it. We have a six and four year old, so quite like the idea of having a space where our children can play and we can be below.
