Choosing the right fire

 

Brick chimney (Class 1)

A brick chimney is recognised by a chimney stack with accompanying terracotta pot or gas terminal. These are the brick chimneys you get, mainly on older properties, that were to facilitate an open fire. They rely on the natural circulation of air to remove waste gases from the fireplace.

Pre-fabricated flue (Class 2)

A pre-fabricated flue has a metal flue and terminal. A prefabricated flue will either be used on older properties where a chimney has been lined with a steel flue, or a newer property with a steel flue built in. They are made up of interlocking metal flue pipes. You can easily identify a prefabricated flue by the metal cowl on the roof, which looks like a thin metal chimney.

Pre-cast flue 

A pre-cast flue is built from concrete blocks and built into a property’s interior walls. They are a more common feature in new houses and can be recognised by a small ridge vent on the roof.

No chimney or flue

If you have nothing on your roof, you probably have no chimney or flue. In this case, a balance flue will usually suit this situation when positioned on a suitable outside wall.

From our first ‘just browsing’ visit, through to the installation of a Cassius Suite, Interstyle were so helpful. Caroline was able to answer all our questions and Tony did a fantastic job fitting the suite. We are extremely pleased with it so no hesitation in recommending Interstyle.

We were keen to go clean with an electric fire (replacing our woodburner) and Interstyle provided some nice options. Our new electric fire from them is great, first class installation from Tony and very warm and happy. Highly recommended.

Phoned out the blue with a gas fire problem which 3 costly call outs couldn't fix....spoke at length with Dean, who went the extra mile to send one of his engineers out to me - and lo and behold gas fire fine now.

I was unsure as to whether I could run a gas log burner on LPG or Calor gas. Dean visited my property and did lots of calculations and assured me he could find a suitable stove. The stove was fitted a few weeks later with extremely good workers, very clean and tidy job, on time and removed old fireplace and repaired broken slate tiles. Cowling and flue liner fitted from roof ,all finished and testing within eight hours. Very impressive .
