Know your Flue
Class 1 chimney (Brick Chimney)
 The conventional brick chimney - clearly defined by a chimney stack and pot on the roof of a property. 
If you have a chimney you will be pleased to know that you will be able to have most types of gas or electric appliances installed.

Pre Fabricated flues ( Class 1 & 2 chimneys)
A metal flue box situated behind the fire connects to a series of metal flue pipes run up through the house terminating with a pipe and terminal through the roof.
There is a large selection of gas appliances for class 1 & 2 chimneys available, dependant on the size of flue and flue box you have in your property.

Class 2 Chimney (Precast Flue)
This flue is manufactured into rectangular hollow concrete or clay blocks that travel vertically, up through the cavity wall of your property, to a ridge vent or metal flue terminal on the roof.

Power flue (No chimney application)
Where no chimney or flue is available. A quiet but powerful fan situated on an outside wall expels the flue gases from the fire. Mains electricity required.
There are two types of power flue options available, a rear flue or side flue for left and right applications in instances where it is not possible to rear flue through the chosen wall (conditions apply).

Balanced Flue ( No chimney application )
Where no chimney or flue is available. The fire vents directly outside through a horizontal twin wall pipe. These fires are glass fronted. No mains electricity is required.
There is no electric supply required; hence no sound or natural air circulation is experienced as with a power flue appliance. There is also a choice of either outset or inset versions available.

Flueless
Flueless fires work by using a catalytic converter which the combustion gases pass through converting all harmful gases into carbon dioxide and water vapour. The result is an appliance, which is 100% efficient with low running costs.
No chimney needed, but you need a wall vent in the room.
