What is a Finishing Plate?

A finishing plate is a critical component used to neatly bridge the gap between your chimney flue and the wall through which it passes.

Quality and durability are at the heart of every National Flues product. The Finishing Plate is crafted from 304 grade stainless steel on the outer surface and 316 grade stainless steel on the inner surface, each meticulously produced at a 0.40mm thickness. This combination ensures resilience, corrosion resistance, and a long-lasting finish even under demanding conditions. Further enhanced by fully welded construction, this plate is built to withstand the rigours of daily use.

Key benefits include:
- Enhanced Durability: The premium materials provide longevity and maintain their appearance despite exposure to varying weather and temperature conditions.
- Safety Assured: With HETAS Approval and CE marking, every plate complies with stringent UK safety regulations, making it an ideal choice for both domestic and commercial installations.
- Optimised Insulation: The inclusion of compressed rockwool insulation (200kg/m³ for TWPro and 128kg/m³ for KC) offers excellent thermal efficiency, helping to control heat flow and improve the overall performance of your installation.

Versatility for Multiple Appliance Types

This finishing plate adapts seamlessly to a wide range of appliances, from traditional woodstoves to modern gas and oil-fired boilers. Its versatile design ensures that it meets the demands of various fuel types including wood, oil, gas, and low sulphur coal.

Installation has never been easier. The design of the Finishing Plate 0°-30° - Ø 80 is focused on straightforward installation.
