Hi, what do you use or sell to put a twin wall Flue through single storey warm flat rood extension (300mm Cavity) Rood is also fibreglassed, so how do you make it watertight and how do you get the Flue stays on the roof to fix to the fibreglass roof without penetrating the roof with screws, this losing your watertight integrity? Is there a kit you sell for both?
@@adamfisher6413 It is not a kit we sell neither is it a diy job. In the end, its not really any different to a felt or a rubber roof. The flashings would be installed in conjunction with who is doing the roof. You don't need screws but it may be sensible to have an upstand in the end. Where abouts are you based?
Is the open unit a lot cooler on the outside? I have some concern over where I want my flute to be installed on the outside of my house, where someone potentially could reach out and touch it (I know, they shouldn’t. But a concern nevertheless).
As the twin wall is insulated the heat is contained to a certain extent but the flue will still get hot no matter what unit you go for. Precautions should be taken in regards to distance to combustibles as advised by manufacturers guidelines and regulations in your country. You could look at getting a flue cage or boxing it in maybe?
Hello great video. I have kingspan insulated roof and twin wall pipe The pipe was made in Spain cant remember the name but is was not the cheap stuff. Should i cut the insulation back a bit from the flue? Thank You Marc
Hi Marc, Thank you! For twin wall flue it should be cut back and installed inline with manufacturers guidelines (generally 50mm to combustibles) and in accordance with local building regulations. Kind Regards, Max
Thanks for the video .... just trying to sort costs and my budgets deciding on Heta 45 or newborne and costs for the Flueon the outside so really helpful
Not a problem Stuart, we’re glad it was insighful 😊
Thank you for the video. Can you use part twist and part push fit?
Personally we would avoid any twist TW flue, just because it makes it awkward to line the sections up. It is also recommended to use the same system throughout.
Thanks for sharing insights, where do you get your flue from ?
Thank you! Our flue systems are supplied from the highest quality manufacturers from UK.
I would buy from them they known there stuff or nationalchimneysupplies
Good video, i would lie to shop around for the stove and the correct approved parts preferred by the installer's, been given quotes for a simple small stove that exceeds 4,000. may as well pay for the gas and electric bill. Do you do anything on the recommendation of stone hearths.
Hi, you are right, it can take a while to recover the costs of a full installation, when compared to your electricity and gas bill - unless of course you have a convenient fuel supply. However, interestingly, we are finding that one of the main motivators for our customers is "having control of their heat source" , so energy security, rather than just the cost
Can you get the silver one in a black colour and can you get the twin wall flue systems in them? How much are they for the 5” ones?
Yes, chrome twin wall flue pipe can be painted black using heat resistant paints, advisable by a specialist paint shop.
Different manufacturers flue system quality drastically differs depending on the metal quality and thickness, the process in which the flue is produced and finished and the connection used to join the twin wall togethor which is reflected by the different price points and will determine how effective and how long your flue system will last.
Please contact us for pricing of our flue systems for your fireplace or stove installation.
Thank you! I have a twin wall system coming (HETAS approved) they state distance to combustibles 50mm.. how hot should I expect the outer layer to be? I am passing it through a combustible floor with a ventilated firestop system.. just trying to assess if I should keep it further than 50mm…
Hi, really, there is no simple answer to your question, sorry...
If you read the spec for the TW flue it will have a specification, within this specification, it will tell you at what temperature etc... the DTC (distance to combustible materials) it was specified at, you need to read and understand this, because it is possible that the 50mm (or whatever distance) to combustibles is calculated at differently.
As an aside, dont forget that the flue outside temperature will be hotter the closer you are to the heat source!
One of the most important elements to get your head around is the DTC is generally calculated in "Free flowing air" soo, if you incarcerate the flue in a confined space without air flow you will get what is know as the "Oven effect" - which means that like an oven, the whole space heats up to the same temperature as as the flue and the DTC ceases to apply.
Do hope this helps
@@bonfirefireplaces thank you! This really helps.. to mitigate the oven effect i could install more ventilation in the boxing in of the flue or insulate it further with ceramic fiber around the outside of the flue?
Can I ask if you ask if you are HETAS approved ? I dont want to come across as a jobs worth but you have to be qualified(in England) to H006 to install twin wall www.hetas.co.uk/trade/training-courses/h006-system-chimneys/
Nice one
Thank you!
Good information 👍
Thank you!
