11 best chimney manufacturers

An integral part of the heating devices is the chimney. In place of brick buildings came light and compact steel structures. A wide range of both foreign and Russian smoke removal systems is presented on the domestic market. They offer products of different price and quality, which differ significantly in service life. Making the right choice without the help of experts is quite difficult. Therefore, you should listen to the following recommendations of experts.

How to choose a chimney for the house

1. Type of heater. To choose a reliable steel chimney, you need to know the type of heater to which it will be connected. Gas and diesel boilers form a large amount of caustic condensate. Therefore, all elements of the smoke removal system should be made of acid-resistant steel (AISI 316L) with a wall thickness of more than 0.5 mm. Coal furnaces can be equipped with heat-resistant chimneys from AISI 310 material with a thickness of 0.8 ... 1.0 mm. For a wood-burning fireplace, AISI 321 is suitable.
2. Chimney construction. Steel smoke removal systems are of several types. Single-wall pipes are usually used as an addition to brick channels. They require insulation because of the tendency to condensation. Dual-circuit systems with a layer of insulation can partially solve the problem of condensate. Sandwich-type chimneys need only be cleaned in a timely manner. Two-way movement of air masses provide coaxial chimneys. On the external channel, clean air is drawn in from the street, and the products of combustion are removed through the internal highway.
3. Installation Features. Modern smoke removal systems are fairly simple and easy to assemble. In some cases, you can do the job yourself. When buying should pay attention to the evenness of all parts, the presence of connecting and turning elements, ease of docking.
4. Reliability and durability. To determine the reliability and durability of the chimney on the technical parameters is problematic. Indirectly, this can be judged by the steel grade and wall thickness. But full information can be found only on thematic sites, where homeowners and professional stove-makers share their experiences.
