Taylor's heater mounting board

[BMC problems]

What can I use, that I can get in a small quantity, to insulate between a Taylor's 079D and a tongue and groove bulkhead?

 

A composite would be fine.

I used fireboard and then tiled it

What is fireboard and where can I get it? How did you fix through the tiles?

I believe it's this: http://www.diy.com/departments/5022652810382-834554-versapanel-cl-o-cement-particle-board/258753_BQ.prd

 

You can drill tiles with a masonry drill, but don't use the hammer action ?

great. it's beginning to make sense. Thanks.

A few years ago now, I had a plinth and backboards installed for a conventional dual-fuel stove - Villager Chelsea Duo. It was done by/@ Braunston and they used Masterboard for the backboards. You might have to search around a bit from

https://www.promat.co.uk/en/products/masterboard to find the available sizes but it seems to look and act pretty much like ply in terms of cutting and drilling. I did a bit of research and ended up with adhesive and ceramic tiles suitable for being close to a source of heat.

 

I'm not sure, however, whether Masterboard would be suitable for your situation - see specifications/applications. I presume you are looking for something to mount on top of the T&G on which to mount the Taylors. In the picture it seems to be mounted on a timber backboard - ??really!

The back of a Taylor's stove is surprisingly cool - it has an integral insulation panel and then is spaced off the mounting surface by a 1/2" air gap.

 

We have mounted all of ours on tiles that have been directly bonded to ply.

 

I have seen them mounted directly on to timber bulkheads, with no evidence of scorching, but personally I would like something a little more fire proof!

There is no insulated mounting plate on mine - I see one is listed in the manual but it doesn't appear to be available as a part.

[canals are us?]

Use this behind the stove.

I just drilled through the tiles to mount it, BMC. It has mounting brackets that screw to the wall that create an air space between the heater and the wall

On the ones I have had, the rear plate has been a double skinned stainless assembly, with either a large air gap or some insulating material between the skins.

 

Edited to add ... In the Taylor's parts list, Part 31, the insulated mounting plate, is the bit I am referring to and comes as part of the heater.
