Hello,
more than a year ago I purchased and got installed a Stovax wood fireplace in Sydney.
It has been installed "frameless", as advertised, with the plasterboard touching the internal frame of the fireplace.
Bacause of this, every kind of metal angle used by the plasterer bends and cracks the plaster (see attached photo).
The board used is completely fire resistant, and is cold to the touch even if the fireplace produces a huge amount of heat. The same doesn't apply to the metal angle and the plaster around it.
Is it possible to install the boards without angles? Or does anyone see a different solution, without changing the type of installation?
The job has now been done and redone several times, and it is clear at this stage that they don't know what to do next.
Thanks
Maurizio
