Schiedel Chimney System’s flue system for timber-framed buildings, Ignis Protect, enables luxury buildings to enjoy the warmth of a wood burning stove, safely and efficiently.
Ignis Protect is CE approved and can be used to pass through both interior and exterior timber-frame walls, available in both 90 and 45 degree versions, up to the temperature class T600.
Nathan Welham, Managing Director, at Heatsource based in Uppingham, an expert in installing Schiedel products, explained the flueing requirements for a recent eco-house project: “We were originally going to use an insulated chimney system on the property but then I recalled the Ignis Protect system that I’d seen at the last Hearth & Home Exhibition.”
Nathan continued: “The installation was very straightforward and we are pleased with the results…It’s great news for UK house-building market that this product is now available, providing a simple solution for air tight and energy efficient buildings.”

- Monolithic component is made up of mineral wool to building material class A1
