Hello!
I was thinking of starting to set up aerated concrete blocks around our new kitchen stove this weekend, to make it look like an old-fashioned kitchen stove. Like..
Next to the kitchen stove, we have a brick ledge, then about a decimeter of stone, and finally a chipboard floor.
Can I attach the aerated concrete blocks directly to the chipboard, or do I need something in between? Would it work just with a regular drywall, or do I need some type of primer? If so, which one? See picture
I've read somewhere that you're supposed to "glue" together aerated concrete. How does that work? What kind of glue do you need, and can you buy it at an ordinary hardware store?
I don't need to reinforce with rebar or anything like that, right?
Then we're going to plaster everything together too. Should we use mortar B then? When we plaster the chimney in connection, we'll use mortar C, so maybe we should use it across the board? Or doesn't that work for aerated concrete?
I just noticed there are a lot of questions, but I'm extremely grateful for any answers Especially quick ones

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question, but I just have to comment on your stove, it's incredibly stylish! You should be proud of it!

I polished our kitchen wall with C and it's held up, so it probably works. It seems unnecessary to use two types, but those who sell it probably know best.
I'm not an expert, but Timell and Rappne usually build this type of construction by masonry, not gluing, and I think they also use rebar. There's probably a description on their website on the subject since they've done this kind of thing, Ernst as well on the same channel tv4.

Thin joint adhesive is used for aerated concrete, it looks like runny tile adhesive. It adheres much better than mortar. When you plaster afterwards, it is important to water and prime thoroughly.
Aha, so it's called "tunnfogslim"! Thanks! Yes, I think I'll use C over the whole area, since they will be connected and all.
I tried asking at Beijer bygg in Örebro, but they knew about as much as I did I'll try somewhere else! It feels a bit overambitious to use rebar since it's not really a large construction. Should I anchor it in the chimney as well?
I will probably try using a regular gypsum board as a base. I'm a bit worried it might get too wet, or should it be fine?

Now I've got both thin joint mortar and Mur&Puts mortar C from the store...
Can I then joint with the thin joint mortar and then plaster with C??
What should I use as a base?

I wouldn't care if that stove works or not - it's a freaking piece of art that elevates the room it's in.BillyBragg said:I know!!!

The problem you've created for me is that when I showed the picture to my wife, she immediately wanted us to throw out our Contura stove and install "your" stove instead.
That obviously won't happen - even though I'm darn tempted!
Can you share a post with the seller's website? Just to satisfy my curiosity....
We bought it from a company in Örebro http://www.spiscenter.se/ but they don't have it on their website. I just called them to check if they could order one for us, but they had one on display!Tyresö said:
