Understanding Your Chimney
Understanding your Chimney or Flue Type
There's nothing more frustrating than setting your heart on a new fire only to discover that its not actually suitable for your home. To help you understand which fires are suitable for your home we have prepared a key to classify your chimney - outlined below. When looking through the product pages on this site you will see the same images used to indicate which types of chimney are suitable for that fire.
Brick Built Chimney (class 1)
The classic brick built chimney is suitable for all fires and stoves. As these chimneys are deep you can choose a full depth fire through to the shallower slimline products.
Pre-fabricated chimneys (class 2)
Pre-fabricated chimneys are suitable for most fires and gas stoves. Pre-fabricated chimneys offer a
good depth so you can choose from the majority of full depth fires and all slimline fires.
Pre-cast chimneys (class 2 pre cast)Pre-cast chimneys are found in most modern homes and suitable for a wide range of slimline fires and electric stoves.
Full depth fires can also be used with Pre-cast flues with the aid of a spacer kit. Ask your retailer or installer for more details.
