Schiedel Technoflex Chimney Liners: The Best Flexible Flue Liners for Solid Fuel

Schiedel Technoflex is widely recognized as the best flexible flue liner for solid fuel stoves. Whether you’re installing a new wood-burning stove or upgrading an existing chimney, Further, Technoflex offers unmatched quality, safety, and performance.

Key Features of Schiedel Technoflex Chimney Liners

1. Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
   The Technoflex liner is made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel. This material ensures that the liner can withstand the high temperatures and corrosive flue gases generated by solid fuel appliances, including wood, coal, and multi-fuel stoves.

2. Double-Skinned Construction
   Schiedel Technoflex liners are double-skinned, meaning they consist of two layers of stainless steel. This design ensures greater durability and flexibility, making it easier to fit the liner into existing chimneys while maintaining structural integrity. The double-skinned construction also provides better resistance to thermal stresses, ensuring the liner will not degrade quickly.

3. Highly Flexible
   As the name suggests, Technoflex offers excellent flexibility, which is crucial when installing liners into older or more complex chimney structures. Moreover, the liner can bend and adapt to various chimney shapes and sizes, making installation easier without compromising performance.

4. Optimised for Solid Fuel
   Technoflex liners are specifically designed for use with solid fuel burning appliances. They are highly resistant to soot, tar, and other byproducts that can accumulate when burning wood or coal. This reduces the likelihood of blockages or damage, ensuring a longer lifespan for the liner.

5. CE Certified and HETAS Approved
   Safety and compliance are paramount with chimney systems. Schiedel Technoflex chimney liners meet all relevant safety standards, including CE certification and HETAS approval for use with solid fuel appliances in the UK. This ensures the liner is tested and proven to work safely in your home.

6. Longevity and Warranty
   Schiedel Technoflex chimney liners come with a 25-year warranty, which speaks to the product’s long-lasting durability. The liner is designed to last for decades without requiring replacement, even in the face of regular use with solid fuel appliances.

Why Schiedel Technoflex Is Perfect for Solid Fuel Stoves

Hot Box® Stoves, known for their robust and high-performance stoves, have been installing Schiedel Technoflex liners since 2008, a testament to the liner’s reliability and compatibility with solid fuel appliances.

Schiedel Twin Wall Chimney Systems: A Modern Solution for Safe and Efficient Flueing

When a chimney isn’t available or a liner isn’t appropriate, a Schiedel twin wall chimney system provides the ideal solution. These systems are particularly useful in new builds, extensions, or when retrofitting a stove into a property without an existing chimney.

Key Features of Schiedel Twin Wall Chimney Systems

1. Double-Wall Insulated Construction
   The twin wall system features a double-wall design with an insulating layer between the two walls. This insulation helps maintain a high flue gas temperature, which promotes an efficient and consistent draw, reducing the risk of condensation or flue gas cooling too quickly.

2. Stainless Steel Build
   The outer and inner walls of the Schiedel twin wall system are constructed from high-grade stainless steel, providing excellent resistance to corrosion and heat. This ensures the system will last for many years, even when exposed to the high temperatures associated with solid fuel stoves.

3. Modular and Easy to Install
   Schiedel’s twin wall chimney systems are designed with modularity in mind. Each section of the system can be connected with ease, making it highly adaptable to different installation needs. Whether the chimney needs to pass through a wall, ceiling, or roof, Schiedel’s components make the process straightforward for professional installers.

4. HETAS Approved and CE Certified
   Like the Technoflex liner, Schiedel’s twin wall chimney systems are fully HETAS approved and CE certified for use with solid fuel appliances. This guarantees that the system has been rigorously tested for safety and performance.

5. Attractive and Discreet Design
   While functionality and safety are top priorities, Schiedel’s twin wall chimney systems are also designed to look good. With sleek stainless steel finishes and optional powder-coated colors, the system can blend seamlessly into modern or traditional interiors and exteriors.

6. Safe for Internal and External Installations
   Schiedel twin wall systems can be used both inside and outside the home. For internal use, they can be safely routed through walls, floors, and ceilings without the risk of overheating or fire hazards. For external use, they are weather-resistant and built to withstand the elements, ensuring long-lasting performance in outdoor settings.

Benefits of Using Schiedel Twin Wall Systems

• Versatility: Twin wall systems are ideal for installations where a traditional chimney is not present or where extending a chimney is not feasible.
• Efficiency: The insulation layer ensures that flue gases remain at an optimal temperature, enhancing stove performance and reducing the risk of condensation and tar buildup.
• Safety: The system is designed to prevent heat from escaping into surrounding materials, minimizing the risk of fire or damage to the property.
