The insula�ng proper�es of many modern houses are extremely high and
many external walls are now constructed with an inner skin of
plasterboard, supported on a wooden frame which is thermally insulated
from the outer skin of brick. Having such a low thermal conduc�vity makes
it impossible to use the outer wall as the back of the stove’s housing unless
a means of ensuring that non of the heat from the stove is transferred to
the house wall. Whilst this may sound daun�ng the reward will be a vast
increase in hea�ng efficiency.
One solu�on to the problem is to leave a space between
the stove’s housing back and the wall and provide ven�la�on to give an
air flow between the two. The housing should be constructed with
insula�ng blocks and faced with brick or an insula�ng board and for extra
protec�on the housing can be lined with rockwool but these should be
supported so as not to touch the stove body.
The provision of insula�on and air flow will also apply to the heat
reaching the ceiling of the room and this will need extra care if the
chimney is to be routed internally through the property.
