Energy Efficiency

In today’s climate many homes and businesses are striving to be more energy efficient and in the latest revision of the Building Regulations, it states that all new houses must comply with stricter rules aimed at reducing energy usage and carbon emissions by a further 25%. By selecting an appropriate heating appliance and an efficient chimney or flue system enables property owners to meet the government’s targets without having to compromise on the comfortable focal point of a fire which can make a house feel like a home.

Technoflex is a twin skin flexible liner designed for gas, oil and multi-fuel appliances where the temperature in the flue does not exceed 600 degrees centigrade

Residential Pumice

Schiedel Isokern products can be specified for new-build and refurbishment projects and provides a lightweight, energy efficient, easy to install and versatile chimney solution which can be installed internally or externally on masonry, timber frame and steel frame constructions. Pumice is a natural insulator and the natural properties of the pumice allow the flue gases in the chimney to quickly reach their ideal temperature, allowing the heating appliance to reach its optimum performance shortly after lighting. The product range includes:

• DM (Double Module): The Isokern Double Module block system is a quality chimney system used throughout Europe which maintains flue gas temperatures whilst preventing heat transference to the outer casing and is available in three sizes
• Firechests: The Isokern firechest range are supplied as flat packs and are very simply installed to create a neat and pre-formed fire opening which is ready for finishing. The Manor firechest design allows for the creation of fire openings of up to 1.25m wide
• Flue Liners: The flue liner range encompasses over seventeen different sizes and is ideal for new-build, extensions and relining existing chimneys
• Isokoat Flue Sealing System: An efficient and cost effective way of re-sealing a faulty chimney shaft. The Isokoat material is applied to the chimney under pressure and forced into cracks sealing them, re-pointing the joints and adding strength to the walls

Residential Ceramic

The ceramic chimney range has been designed to provide a wide range of solutions for open fires, stoves, cookers and central heating boilers. The Schiedel Swift chimney system is a ceramic chimney designed in modular units and can be simply assembled on site. The Schiedel Multi enables up to ten appliances to be connected to one chimney system. The Schiedel Avant can be used with room sealed and open appliances and has been created for low temperature and condensing appliances and is suitable for waste gas temperatures of up to 160 degrees centigrade.
