Chimney Systems
Why is a Pumice Chimney the Best Chimney?
Pumice is a natural insulator. This is the unique property that separates pumice from all other chimney materials.
The insulating properties of Pumice allow the flue gases in the chimney to quickly reach their optimum temperature enabling the heating appliance to reach its optimum performance shortly after lighting. It also keeps the chimney warmer longer as the heat output of the appliance decreases - once again aiding performance and reducing the likelihood of condensation and soot build-up.
The range of chimney systems currently available from The Green House can be used for new chimneys and for the refurbishment of existing chimneys. These chimney systems provide a lightweight, easily installed and versatile chimney which can be used internally or externally. The systems are suitable for use with burning appliances in new and refurbished projects. They are ideal for Masonry, Timber Frame and Steel Frame construction. Punice chimneys have been installed in Europe for over 60 years.
The Natural Properties of Pumice:
- Resistant to temperature change - Pumice does not expand or contract with temperature change. This reduces the possibility of cracking and structural damage that can occur with other products.
- High Insulation Properties - Pumice is a natural insulator, able to maintain the temperature of flue gases when other products have allowed the temperature to fall below the dew point.
- Lightweight - Pumice is strong yet lightweight allowing one person to lift and build the chimney units.
Pumice Double Module Chimney Systems
The Pumice Double Module block system is a quality chimney system, used extensively in Scandinavia and other parts of Europe. The double wall system maintains flue gas temperatures while preventing heat transference to the outer casing. The separation of the inner and outer components also allows for thermal movement, reducing the risk of cracking and subsequent leaking or staining. It is simple and quick to build. The Double Module is available in 3 outer casing sizes - DM36, DM44 & DM54.
There are 3 systems in different internal diameters to meet the requirements of different appliances and uses:
- DM 36, 150mm internal diameter for smaller output inserts, stoves, pellet boilers and cookers
- DM 44, 180mm, 200mm and 225mm internal diameters for inserts, stoves and open fires
- DM 54, 300mm and 345mm internal diameters for firechests and larger appliances - inserts and open fires

Schiedel Swift Air
In an A rated house the combustion air required for wood burning appliance like a stove burning logs or wood pellets must be supplied directly to the stove from outside the house. These appliances are called room sealed as they are manufactured not to take air from the room. The Schiedel Swift Air provides all the benefits of the Schiedel Swift and in addition neatly and simply delivers the external air to the stove.
The alternative to Schiedel Swift Air is low level or under floor ducting ideally with air supplies from opposite sides of the house.
The Schiedel Swift Air solution avoids this by ducting the air through an external air shaft in the chimney.
The heated air circulates within the house. The stove and the boiler do not take air from inside the house so no warm air is lost through the chimneys.
If you've got a question or enquiry about the Schiedel Swift Air system please don't hesitate to call us on 053 9375360/087 9887017 or email us. Alternatively you can use the enquiry/call back form on our contact page.
