Lining
an old flue can be done in several different ways including
flexible metal liners, flue blocks and in situ concrete lining.
The National Association of Chimney Lining Engineers (NACE)
can advise on a local chimney engineer and the best method for
your flue.
Gas is a flexible controlable fuel and the choice of product
will be far wider than for solid fuel. You can choose from a
vast range of products to suit every pocket and situation. Today’s
gas fire offers the impact of live flames, excellent heat output
and complete control. Whether your choice is for a fire that
creates the realism of burning coals and logs or a contemporary
design with both radiant and convected heat, safety is assured
via the mandatory testing that all manufacturers must comply
with.
Gas fires are now being manufactured with a balanced flue or
a powered flue that only require an outside wall. A recent development
is the flueless fires which can be sited anywhere in the home.
All are designed to look and perform like their flued equivalents
and all meet the same stringent safety requirements.
