Browse Forums Heating, Cooling & Insulation Re: Fireplace Installation Advice 3Nov 04, 2013 1:45 pm Agape We have just had one installed ... however we installed it during the build. We were quoted $880 to install, but it ended up costing $1100, due to difficulties. We had arranged for the builder to make sure the wall was the right width (our is double sided), and framing was done by the carpenters at framing stage. Because our house is double story we also needed a bulk head to run the flue, and had to make sure all other services were a certain distance from the flue. We also needed power to be installed in the wall for it. It really didn't take the guy overly long to put it in there, he did it before the plaster went on and will come back and complete it when the plaster is installed. Hubby communicated a fair bit with Jetmaster on exactly what we needed to have it set up correctly, and then used a guy that they recommended for installation. Awesome! Thanks heaps for the info. We'll get on the phone to jetmaster and see what needs to be done. was that including running the flue up to the roof and closing it all off? CHeers Sam Re: Fireplace Installation Advice 6Nov 04, 2013 10:33 pm I really have no idea. I will have to ask hubby and get back to you. I am assuming it is done as I know we were a little annoyed where the flue actually came out of the roof, near but not too close to our daughter's window. This was because our builder used the bulkhead (that was only placed there for the flue) for other services. Hi all, My first post, we are building a house and can’t decide the layout of the lounge room. We have a large N/W facing window and are wanting to have a wood slow… 0 11125 No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 9105 I would probably render it and then paint it as per your other advice, or gyrpock over the top. 1 924 |
