Review of Riva 66 Multi-fuel Fire

Cracked plaster

Ricky Wilson 2 months ago

I have dad the Riva 66 fitted works ok but I am discussted and worried with the heat above the fire on the wall. You cannot actually touch the wall for the first 600mm or more above without burning yourself, his doesn’t seem right or safe as I have 800 m x 600mm space inside brickwork for the flue to be installed. This must be a manufacturing fault regarding insulation etc, please can you help advise me on this as it’s only been used approximately 15 times
