We completed on a new build in November last year. Since then some of our neighbours have had air bricks installed in their lounges with wood burners as they were concerned about insurance/safety/selling on. I found this out on the grapevine but on questioning our builder he said the air brick is not necessary due to the size of our burner (5kw) and the room (4760×3863). The builder claimed that the plots who requested air bricks to be installed wanted to increase the heat the burner will achieve. He advised that an airbrick in our lounge will cause a draught in the room on a windy/cold day, and he recommended we dont need it.
I don't know what to believe! Online it seems to say any new build with a burner of at least 5kw. Any thoughts?
