Line and plaster inside fireplace

[Baz74]

After some advice, got a fire place to plaster inside before a gas fire gets installed, was going to line with some sort of board, but unsure the best type of board to use, so it can be skimmed afterwards. TIA

If you line it up properly and get the nice edges bang on tight then there's no point even plastering it inside. You want hetas approved boards, there's loads of them about, victas do their own range. If you really want it plastered then use the victas plaster but be prepared for a lot of swearing as the stuff is wank

Hi thanks for the reply, any boards you can use multi finish on. Ever used knauf pink fire boards

Multifinish inside fireplace is most definitely gonna crack. The pink knauf plasterboard is not fireproof, it meant to delay the fire damage but its not fireproof. Don't use it inside fireplace. You need hetas approved boards
