Chimney and Flue Types

Chimney and Flue types can vary. In order to ensure you are selecting the right fire for your home it is first necessary to determine which type of ventilation system you have. As a guide these are explained below.

 

Brick Chimey

Apart from products designed for "no chimney" applications, all flavel products will fit brick chimneys. They are easily recognisable by a chimney stack with accompanying tarracotta pot or gas terminal.

 

Prebaricated Flue

Pre-fabricated flues are easily identifiable by a metal flue and terminal on the roof and a metal flue box behind the fire.

 

Pre-cast Flue

Pre-cast flues can be identified by a ridge vent or metal flue tube and terminal on the roof.

Constructed from concrete or clay blocks they form a rectangular section flue.

 

Balanced Flue

Power flue fires use an electronically driven fan unit mounted on the external wall to expel the flue gasses directly outside the building.

 

 Power Flue

Balanced flue fires use a horizontal pipeto vent directly outside. An electricity supplyis not required for Balanced Flue products.
