Traditionally, wooden fireplace surrounds are attached to a chimney wall by drilling it and screwing the fireplace into position. It is a tedious, dusty, time consuming and labour intensive process with fire surround metal connection tabs having to be sunk in the wall. Plaster has to be cut back to accommodate the metal tabs which have to be screwed in place and the resulting holes made good – again more labour intensive work that can be costly. Fireplace fitters would really appreciate a more user friendly method of installing wooden fire surrounds but until now they have had to make do with the traditional drill and screw approach. The challenge has been to find an alternative effective way of attaching the surround to the wall without all the aggravation normally encountered. Thankfully an inventive Company have managed to research and develop a heavy duty bonding product that is the ideal replacement for drills and screws. Though a number of industrial type adhesives have been around for a while they lacked convincing performance and proved to be only a temporary solution, failing to adhere on an effective and permanent basis. The new revolutionary adhesive from CT1 fills that lacune and provides a viable alternative to drilling.
