Types
Brick
built chimney
Suitable for all fires, the classic brick-built chimney can
handle fires with a deep bed right through to shallower slimline
styles.
Pre-fabricated flue
Suitable for most fires, pre-fabricated flues are deep enough
to take most of the deep models and all of the slimline styles.
Pre-cast
flue
Usually
found in modern homes, pre-cast flues are suitable for a wide
range of slimline fires. However, a number of deeper fires
can be adapted for pre-cast flues with the use of a spacer
kit.
