New fireplace lining.

Hi whats your preferred board/construction for new fireplace backing.
Had a call to a job today. They had ripped the guts out a right mess.
Was asking me to intall a flueless to which i tried do disuade them strongly.

Supalux or equivalent, seen pink plasterboard gone up before

their choice, just stick in the required vent and a co alarm. then when you go back the following year, knock it off when the vent has been covered over,

Just knocked him back.

Hes adamant on plasterboard and said on other houses hes had 'the gas lads never needed to put a vent in wall ' (for flueless fire 100sqcm)
Rather than argue the toss i said shop elsewhere.

(Flueless fire gonna be located in builders opening - sealed off with plasterboard all round and above)
Total knob

Best thing you could do
