Hi,
I am looking for advice on materials to use around my hole in the wall fire.
The fire is fitted in to my existing wall which is strapped with 4 by 2 wood and gyproc.
I need something that is no more than 20mm thick and on top of that will be building out another 5mm using victas heat resistant plaster to meet the level of the existing wall need something that is not going to crack.
Victas supply a contstruction board which can be plastered on but it is 30mm which is to thick for what i need.
Any info will be appreciated.
I am not a plasterer i am doing this on behalf of the guy that had originally plastered it but it cracked just want to make sure it gets done right this time.
Thanks.
