I'd probably get more replies to this on PBO but I'd like to see this forum flourish, so here goes:
I've taken out my old heater and am fitting a new-to-me Taylors diesel burner. The old heater had heatproof boards behind and around that seem to have done a good job and I would like to retain them in order to do something to keep costs down. On top of them was a thin layer of copper(?) sheet that looked quite nice but was past its best and was damaged beyond useability by the removal process. Anyone either know anywhere I could get something to replace this with, or have any suggestions for an alternative? I don't fancy tiles because I cannot imagine that grouting would last any time at all. Painting would not be a great option because the surface of the heatshield is far from flawless. I googled copper sheet but everything I found was pretty expensive.
