AN EASY WAY TO DESIGN A CHIMNEY IN A RENOVATION OR NEW-BUILD
When considering renovation or new build, then Isokern’ s Pumice Double Module system is highly recommended. The easy, puttogether blocks provide a zero distance to combustibles due to their volcanic insulation and different range of diameters suitable for any project.
The lightweight blocks are easy to handle. The outer and inner blocks are laid at the same time but with staggered joints for safety and stability. The double layer of pumice separated by an air gap maximises the chimney insulation.
This has been used in a number of renovations as well as new build projects throughout the UK.

And combined with a Schiedel Isokern Magnum Firechest, the results can be amazing.
One such remarkable installation of a Magnum Firechest with a Pumice Chimney System took place Down Under in the Australian Bush. The project was undertaken by the Volcanic Chimney Company, based in Wales( it’ s a long story, continued on our website).
An old patio was replaced with a roaring fire, using a Magnum Fire Chest and an Isokern Double Module Chimney System. All chosen due to the insulation properties and easy construction.
Another project, a little more closer to home, was undertaken by Billing Chimneys, which saw an Isokern Pumice Liner installed, with the construction of a register plate to support the liners, going through a thatched roof.
Billings chose Isokern in this particular situation because of its longevity, durability and excellent insulation. The insulation was very important because it kept the inside of the flue hot, but also prevented damage from any external heat transfer into the adjacent structure.
Schiedel and Firepower Heating launch the ScanFire Opus Schiedel Chimney Systems, in collaboration with Firepower Ltd., have also designed a new minimalist inset system featuring the Opus Tempo 70i stove within a highly insulating pumice-based frame and chimney. This one-stop solution for architects and designers allows a real fire to be specified for any new build, with the chimney and installation design work already done.
This design also won the Best Flueing and Ventilation category at Hearth and Home in Harrogate 2018.
