  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the Room Divider 800 and understand it provides step-by-step instructions for building and installing the divider with a fireplace. I'm ready to answer your questions about the construction process, materials, or any other details in this guide.
  • What should be added to the wall if the frame is constructed from flammable materials?
    What material are recommended for fire proofing?
    What should be used to fill the gaps between fireplace and wall?

Example of installation
Build the framework
Construct the framework of the wall in your preferred material. Most materials are
suitable, but if you build the frame in flammable materials like wood, remember to add
a layer of non combustable material between the framework and the fireplace. Please
see heat proofing on page 4.
The framework should be built in dimensions matching the fireplace - with the
thickness of the wall finishing materials subtracted. This will give a flush finish between
the fireplace and wall when everything is finished.
Add plasterboards
Attach your preferred wall plates to the framework. In this example, plasterboards has
been used.
Many different types of wall boards can be used, but it is important that the materials
are heat-resistant in the area around the fireplace.
Fire proofing
If the wall is constructed of flammable materials like wood, a heat-resistant layer
should be added between the wall framework and the fireplace frame, as highlighted
in the right image above.
Recommended materials can be:
• Heat-resistant plasterboards (Often called Pink Board)
• SkamoEnclosure plates
• Promafour plates
• Promatect plates
• Super-isol plates
• or similar
Finish the wall
Insert the fireplace frame and finish off the wall.
In a construction like our example with plasterboards, all cracks and gaps in the
plasterboard should be filled out with putty filler and the surface smoothened with
sandpaper.
Then fibreglass wallpaper can be attached to the wall, and if necessary, any small gap
between the wall and fireplace should be filled out with heat-resistant sealant.
Finish off by painting the wall in your favourite colour.
Insert the burner and enjoy the fire
When the wall is finished, you are ready to insert the bioethanol burner into the
fireplace frame and fit safety glass to the fireplace.
