The chimney is an important component of almost any house where there is a fireplace or stove. The market presents different chimneys that have their own characteristics. We will talk about the most popular in our article.
Brick chimneys
These chimneys are most often installed in private houses at the construction stage. Their disadvantages include uneven inner surface, which is the cause of the accumulation of soot on the walls. This soot is collected over time and helps to reduce thrust.
Ceramics chimneys
Have a large weight, so they are difficult to install. Such a chimney can be installed both indoors and from the outside of the building. Also have a relatively high cost, so they are not very popular.
Welded chimneys from metal pipes
One of the most difficult in the installation of chimneys, which are also exposed to corrosion. If sulfur oxides are in smoke, then when connected with condensate, they will form sulfuric acid. Gradually, it will destroy the pipes, and with them the chimney itself. Due to these shortcomings, welded chimneys are rarely used.
Modular stainless steel chimneys
To date, they are most popular. There are a number of reasons for this. Firstly, they have light weight, so that their installation is carried out quickly and easy. Secondly, they are reliably protected from the effects of corrosion, since stainless steel is protected from this process. Thirdly, they can be used in wooden houses. Many who have stopped on this option are decided to buy volcano chimneys, which have a certificate of compliance with the State Standard and a fire safety certificate of the Russian Federation. They are of high quality, long service life, easy installation and simple care.
Installation of chimneys
