Chimney systems are an increasingly common alternative to the classic chimney design. By purchasing them, you get a kit with optimal parameters. The result is a perfectly functioning pipe.
Chimney systems usually consist of special blocks, liners and thermal insulation. These components may be of different materials, but they always allow you to relatively easily and quickly assemble the chimney. The choice of individual systems depends mainly on the method of heating in the house.
Chimney systems are structural kits that allow you to build a complete chimney from individual components.
Chimneys are already working in new buildings, but the choice of one of the chimney systems can also solve the problem with chimneys in the cottage or in the country. Some companies also offer special kits for chimney repairs.
HELUZ systems
An interesting novelty was recently launched by Heluz Corporation. The chimney consists of new brick fittings and high-quality thin-walled inserts. This does not require additional thermal insulation, which, according to the manufacturer, will accelerate construction and reduce costs by at least twenty percent.
The HELUZ DUO system is produced in two versions - HELUZ IZOSTAT DUO with a new generation of thin-walled isostatic insert and HELUZ MULTI DUO with a thin-walled ceramic insert. Both systems contain a new type of chimney fitting that has three rows of openings and therefore more air gaps. Thanks to this, thermal insulation is not required even at high temperatures. Isostatic and ceramic inserts prevent excessive flue gas deposition and are resistant to acids, moisture, corrosion and high temperatures. Unlike refractory inserts, they also better withstand direct flames and do not crack. They are suitable for all types of fuel, even when using a low-quality boiler.
The HELUZ Profi rehabilitation kit can also be used for quick reconstruction of a dilapidated pipe. In this case, the chimney will be repaired using a double-walled stainless steel repair part, which is equipped with thermal insulation and allows you to switch from the old square pipe to the new one with a round profile. It does not contain any specific elements that can transmit high temperatures from the inside out to the chimney. The chimney body does not heat up. Using the reconstruction kit, you get a modern and certified chimney with rear ventilation.
Fireplace fittings "Scancore"
Scancore offers a lightweight chimney top reconstruction system. The kit includes chimney blocks, pad and glue. When working with the kit, avoid insertion and complicated connection of inserts and insulation. The chimney consists of highly heat-resistant blocks of pumice concrete, which are not necessary for thermal insulation. However, it can be discharged if necessary.
The procedure is simple, according to the manufacturer, the design of the chimney can be controlled using self-help. The chimney moves to the required height and fills the concrete base (wreath) or uses the original console plate. On the basis of the individual blocks are glued to the required height above the roof, where it ends with an overlay. The manufacturer’s kit supplies various types of covers, an inspection door to the ground, footrests for very tall chimneys, or grilles for supplying air to the appliances.
Chimney Configurator Schiedel
Choosing the optimal type of chimney system is not an easy task. Shidel, for example, allows people to do this through the Internet.On the websites, the manufacturer of the Schiedel chimney system offers a configurator to help you choose the chimney. On the site you can easily find what your home needs and how much it will cost. The online calculator is based on simple commands and is complemented by full visualization for a better idea. After entering the main parameters here, you will find out what the future chimney will look like from the site menu and how many parameters you will choose as a whole.
The main decision when using the configurator is whether you want the chimney to be classic, ceramic or stainless. Then you choose from specific types of Schiedel chimney systems, depending on your needs, you will determine the specifics.
For example, if you choose a Schiedel Absolut chimney, to which you can connect electrical appliances to all types of fuel, in the second step you will determine whether it is a chimney with one or two chimneys. Then select the appropriate hole diameter in the menu. Indicate if you need a chimney with a ventilation shaft, and select the cover and accessories in the menu.
Thus, according to the application, you go at each stage to the final shape of the entire pipe. As each step ends with a visualization, you can see exactly what you are setting up and what your future chimney will look like. After completing the recording, the configurator immediately details the list of all necessary system elements, and also indicates the budget of the product.
