What is a register plate?

Register plates: seal your stove enclosure

A register plate is the metal plate that sits at the very bottom of the chimney in a wood-burning stove installation. It effectively closes off the opening to the chimney, with only your flue pipe passing through the plate. 

A register plate has several purposes:

To prevent heat being sucked out of the room through a draughty chimney opening and keep heat in the room.

• To stop smoke and gases seeping down the chimney and into the room.

• To ensure the stove works properly by drawing air through the stove and up the chimney.

• To prevent soot, tar and other debris falling down the chimney and into the room. 

Buying a register plate

Register plates are either supplied blank or pre-punched with a hole in the centre to match the appropriate flue pipe diameter:
