Howdy all
We have a chimney in our existing kitchen that once housed a wood-burning stove (long gone, unfortunately). The opening to the room is 930 wide by 1330 high with double bricks either side and single outside, and has a window 220 x 330 high, that we'd like to replace with as many glass bricks as is practical (we want to get as much light as possible from the North wall). The thing is, it's going to be dining/living space and it'd be nice to put our wood heater there, SO
1 - does anyone know if glass bricks will stand the heat?
2 - if so, how many we could get away with using before compromising the stability of the chimney too much?
3 - best grout/mortar/other to be using?
cheers,
mean..
