efficient flues

Equipping the house with flues and chimney pots is very important for the disposal of fumes produced by heating systems.

The chimney pots, or better, their technical characteristics, will be presented in the various heating systems.

It is important to underline that the chimney pots must be integrated into the roof so as not to create problems with the roof. An installation may cause the roof to be non-waterproof and in severe fire conditions.

The ducts can in fact reach high temperatures and in contact with wooden roofs can cause their combustion. All appropriate precautions should therefore be taken.
