Because of the high temperatures this fire achieves, it is
advisable to use marble slips or similar material between the
appliance and the plasterboard
Never use a one-piece slip as expansion (even cracking)
can occur. If a slip is used, longer screws are needed to
secure the appliance.
• Connect the flue system and gas services using the
opening in the side of the chimney breast for access. After
commissioning, finish the sides of the chimney breast,
