Stove Project Overview

Hot Box Stoves was asked to install a large freestanding stove (purchased by our customers) in a newly built living room extension. As there was no chimney stack the stove had to be installed using a Schiedel twin wall chimney system.

Schiedel is Europe’s leading manufacturer of energy-efficient chimney systems that are designed to be used where a masonry chimney does not exist and allows an appliance to be fitted in almost any location. It is suitable for operating temperatures up to 450C and can be installed as close as 6cm to combustibles.

INSTALLATION

As with every installation, the works began with placing temporary protection in all areas where work was to be carried out. To start with, the stove was placed on a D-shaped glass hearth and a black Schiedel Twin Wall Chimney System was installed to the top of the stove; vertically through the ceiling and roof covering.

The roof box with flashing was supplied and installed by Hot Box Stoves’ sister company – Geoff Neal Roofing, whose main project was to design and install a new zinc-covered roof area. Follow the LINK for more information. 

Following that, a suitable lead flashing kit was installed together with a storm collar; the chimney system was completed with an anti-down draft cowl.

Once all debris was disposed of and the area where the stove was installed was cleaned, our HETAS registered engineers performed a smoke test using Firestarter. The smoke test ensures that, there is an adequate degree of draw and that all connections are sealed.

Finally, in accordance with building regulations, a CO/ Carbon Monoxide Alarm and a chimney notice plate were installed.
