Promat
| How to Line a masonry fireplace
If you are installing a new stove,
stove surround or updating an
existing one you must ensure that
the wall lining in the fireplace is
safe and doesn’t pose a fire risk.
You must ensure that the board
has the legal certification that it
can both:
• Withstand temperatures of up
to 1000°C; and
• Is classified A1 non-combustible
and will not catch fire or
contribute to a fire
Promat PROMAFOUR® meets
these criteria. It has been
fully tested and classified to
international fire standard,
BS EN 13501-1 and carries
a CE Mark which is the
manufacturers declaration
that PROMAFOUR® meets
EU safety requirements.
Whilst there are other boards on
the market which are classified
A1 non-combustible, they are
not designed to withstand the
intense heat of a fireplace or the
continuous ongoing strain that is
unique in this environment.
Gypsum plasterboards – including
the fire-rated pink boards – are
combustible and should not be
used for fireplaces.
In contrast, Promat PROMAFOUR®
has been specifically designed
to be used for the installation
of a false chimney breast for an
inset type fireplace and for walls
surrounding free standing stoves.
It will provide a clean, pre-
decorative finish for your fireplace
and as it requires no plaster it will
not crack under pressure from the
most intense heat.
