Your choice of fire will be dictated by
the type of chimney or flue you have. If you're not
sure, then take a look at your roof and cross-reference
it with the simple guide below.
It is also worth noting that a slime line
fire will fit virtually any chimney or flue, whereas
a full-depth often requires a traditional chimney or
rebate in the fire surround.
Brick Chimney
A
conventional brick chimney is
easily recognisable by a chimney
stack with accompanying terracotta
pot or gas terminal. Most fires
will fit this installation.
Pre-Fabricated Flue
This
is an interlocking flue tube
system easily identifiable by
a metal flue and terminal on
the roof and a metal flue box
behind the fire.
Pre-Cast Flue
Built
from concrete or clay blocks,
pre-cast flues provide a rectangle
section flue. They can be identified
by a ridge vent or metal flue
tube and terminal on the roof.
Powerflue
Powerflue
fires expel the flue gases directly
outside the building through
the use of an electronically
driven fan unit. Performance
is monitored and an auto shut
off feature is available in
the event of a fault.
