[Legal proof of ownership]

Thank you all for your response, this has helped clarify and eased my concern over whether the CRT License should be in my name.

[Legal proof of ownership]

I'm going to be living on a boat that my parents own, but the license is in my name. Because they own it is it ok that the license is in my name or should it be in theirs?

 

Is there anything official I need to do for proof of the situation if for example  banks where to ask for proof of ownership.

I think I would clad the underside of the gunwale overhang with calcium silicate board as well. 

Thanks, that's a good point!

Plasterboard is not combustible. Indeed when I was fitting out data centres to London Building Regs Section 20, a 2 hour fire resistance was achieved and approved by the local boroughs fire officer by cladding a stud wall with 2 layers of plasterboard on each side and sealing any gaps with intumescent silicone.

 

However as previously mentioned plasterboard is hydroscopic and doesn't tolerate vibration.

Thanks for the information, this is really helpful. Would you suggest removing and replacing with another material? Ply perhaps?

Plasterboard is a really bad idea. It will just soak up any moisture and crumble.

Thanks for the advice.

Comment [not an expert]:

Ply is combustable, ...

The stove looks quite close at the corners

I think porcelain tiles are best.

I would not have stove sitting on anything 'flimsy'

Thanks for the advice.

 

Yeah, that's not where it's going to be placed - it was just too heavy for me to move foward for the pic haha

1. No.

2. Not sure I understand?

 

Question: what are you using to create the air gap between your offcuts and the calcium silicate fire retardant board? ?

 

Thanks for answering.

 

To clarify the offcuts have been used to create the air gap between the plasterboard/gyproc and the calcium cilicate. I followed the Soliftec stoves in boats guidance pdf for distances etc.

 

I just don't know if I should replace the plasterboard/gyproc with ply (even though there is the air gap and the top half is going to be tiled) because plasterboard/gyproc is combustible. 

 

[Building a Wood Burning Stove Surround]

I'm building a surround for my new wood burning stove.

 

The plan as per the attached photos is to tile over the calcium cilicate board which have been attached to offcuts with a 10mm air gap however I have two questions:

 

1. does the hearth underneath need to be built in the same way with an air gap? Or is there a better solution?

 

2. The plan was to tile right up to the top as the material behind the calcium cilicate board is gyrpoc (which was probably a bad idea). As this is a combustible material do I need to reconsider and replace with ply even though it'll be tiled over and is only covering the area above the stove itself (and behind the airgap/cilicate)?

 

Thanks in advance for any guidance or help provided.
