Whenever possible, build your chimney inside the house; this will provide
better draw, lower creosote accumulation and a longer life.
THE ADVANTAGES OF BRICK CHIMNEYS INCLUDE:
a) Fumes cool off more slowly inside the chimney due to the mass of
bricks and tiles.
b) As bricks accumulate heat, the house keeps warm longer after the
fire is put out.
c) It can be built to the specific requirements of each person.
d) If well built, it will be more resistant to fire than metal chimneys.
Brick chimneys must be well lined to prevent the fumes from losing
temperature. They must be built with materials that support high
temperatures and corrosion. They may be round, square...., what matters is
the size of the internal section.
Brick-work chimneys for the HEARTH must comply with the measurements
indicated in section 9: TECHNICAL DATA.
THE ADVANTAGES OF METAL CHIMNEYS INCLUDE:
a) Easy installation.
b) It is possible to change the direction of the chimney slightly, which
provides greater flexibility when deciding where the HEARTH
should be installed.
c) Curved joints can be used, which eliminates acute angles that
have a negative effect on draw.
4.1.4 Some rules.
We shall now explain a number of rules that should be followed when
building a chimney:
a) Use resistant, fireproof materials. Do not use cement asbestos
pipes.
