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 .
