Inset & Cassette Stoves - Heat-Resistant Materials for Modern Built-In Fireplaces
Safe and space-efficient solutions for recessed stove installations
Inset and cassette stoves are contemporary heating appliances designed to be installed directly into a wall cavity, often referred to as "hole-in-the-wall stoves." These stoves feature a glass front that completely encloses the flame, offering both safety and efficiency while maintaining a clean and minimalist aesthetic in modern living spaces.
Cassette stove vs inset stove - what's the difference?
While often used interchangeably, cassette stoves generally offer a more compact, integrated installation compared to traditional inset stoves. A key advantage of cassette models is that they can be installed at any height, giving the appearance of a floating fireplace, ideal for space-saving layouts and design flexibility in contemporary homes.
Recommended materials for inset and cassette stove installations
Proper thermal insulation and fire protection are essential when installing any recessed stove. Vitcas offers several high-performance materials suited for this application:
-
Fireplace Construction Boards, which are universally suitable for lining the recess and surrounding area. These boards are non-combustible and provide structural integrity while withstanding high temperatures.
-
Fireplace Render, used to coat the surface of construction boards, creating a solid and heat-resistant base layer.
-
Heat Resistant Plaster, applied as a finishing layer for a smooth, decorative surface capable of withstanding elevated temperatures around the stove opening.
Together, these products ensure that cassette or inset stoves are installed safely and seamlessly into the wall structure, meeting both functional and aesthetic requirements.
