Absolute Chimney and Fireplace Restoration
Best Chimney Removal
Reduce maintenance costs by having your masonry chimney stack removed, and a stainless steel chimney stack installed in its place.
Why stainless steel chimneys for renovation?
- They can often be installed by lowering the liners from the chimney top to the heating installation without the need to open walls inside the building.
- They are easy to retrofit, even in the case of complex building geometries.
Why stainless steel chimneys for new buildings?
- They are a space-saving option.
- They can be used as an architectural feature.
- They are cost-effective because of quick installation and maintenance.
Stainless Steel Chimney Stacks are Environmentally Friendly
- Their chemical resistance makes them suitable for condensing boilers, which involve the formation of aggressive condensates.
- Their thin walls make them a material-saving option.
- At the end of the useful life of the building, they are fully recyclable and even have positive material value.
Valuable Safety Features Include
- Good resistance to soot fires - after inspection, stainless steel chimneys often go back to normal use after an incident.
- Outstanding shock resistance - the chimney will not tend to break or crack following settlements in the building or even seismic activity.
Types of Chimneys
- External Chimneys are situated outside the building. It is important to keep flue-gas temperature at sufficient level all the way to the top of the chimney. Insulation is therefore important and should be applied the entire length of the flue.
- The classic position of a chimney is on the inside of the building because this minimizes temperature loss. One of the most common solutions is an internal, twin-walled insulated flue system that goes straight up from the boiler, furnace, or fireplace.
- Single-walled systems are only found in connecting flue pipes. Stainless steel versions have an additional decorative function.
- By using a twin-walled insulated flue system, a stove can be installed practically anywhere.
- Triple-walled chimneys have an air channel between the flue and outer wall. The outer wall of a chimney pipe can be either stainless steel or galvanized steel. The inner wall is always made of stainless steel.
