This is the start of the installation of a Charnwood Cove 2B. The stove has a integral boiler that will be connected to a thermal store that will also have an electric boiler and solar panels connected to it. The central heating will also come directly from the thermal store.
The picture above shows the chimney breast as we found it with an opening for an open fire that had been blocked with pillows and wood to stop the rain coming in.
We are going to open the fire place out install a new lintel and re plaster.
Stitch drilling for the new lintel.
This shows the new lintel and opening.
Hear you can see the partition that we have installed on the end of the chimney breast to allow us to run the 28mm copper pipe from the stove into the loft space, this is behind the insulation on the right hand side.
The grey pipe insulation has the flow and return pipes for the central heating.
The chimney breast is relined and is ready for plastering.
in this photo it is possible to see the two 28mm copper pipes for the stove.
The chimney breast has been plastered and will take approximately 3 days to dry enough to get the first coat of paint on.
At the bottom you can see the template for the slate hearth, the leading edge will be curved to mirror the top of the Charnwood Cove stove that is being installed.
The existing floors are being replaced, once this is done then the hearth will be fitted.
The new floor has been laid and the hearth has been cut and polished. The hearth is set onto a bed of adhesive.
Just a few final adjustments.
The finished hearth will be allowed to set and then treated with a satin finish stain block. There is also a mat and gloss finish.
Once the closer plate and new liner is in place we backfill will leca which helps to insulate the flue to improve performance.
Here you can see the framework and header of the solar panel that will be connected to the thermal store alongside the stove installation.
The 30 tubes have been installed to the header and completes the solar system installation.
In the background you can see the new cowl on the chimney pot.
The stove installation is complete the only thing left to do is light the stove checking for correct operation and circulation of hot water.
Here you can see the thermal store, solar pipework/system, stove pipework and central heating manifolds and pumps.
On the other side of the thermal store is the 12KW electric boiler.
