I said, she said...yeah right...that works in court...that's why tesco don't give reciepts for expensive items, you just say the person at checkout said it was a 3 year warranty...you silly billy bonkers.....
The register plate is also cement board and has a steel liner passing through it - is that what you mean?
So liner inside existing masonry chimney, register plates should be 3mm steel really.
As all the politicians say, " I mis-spoke". I meant closure plate, not register plate.
What are you actually gonna do here? Why not get some stone or some proper fire rated board and affix to sides. Whatever plaster products you have will need painting and maybe the heat with the paint will be similar issue
The background is already A1 rated cement board. For some reason the cowboy decided to skim it with Thistle Hardwall which is not fire rated, so it would have had to have come off anyway. The stuff almost dropped off in places as I scraped it off yesterday. Don't know if a surface prep is required on this stuff, but as you can see, there is none anyway. Incidentaly, the corner beads were stapled on and they fell off too.
That's a good plan - may help if the 'plasterer' wants to take things further.
