Closed Combustion Fireplace Flue Kit

A good flue kit consists of both insulated and plain flue pipes, which is the industry standard. The flue piece which connects the plain flue pipe with the insulated flue pipe is called an insulated “end-cap”, and this item of the flue kit is installed about 300mm below ceiling level, and runs into the roof space.

The reason that we use insulated flue pipes when going via your ceiling and roof is because single skin flues get really hot. Single skin flues help to heat your house and serve as an extension of the fireplace. However, an insulated flue is the best choice for when the flue goes through your ceiling, roof space and exits via your roof itself, because an insulated double skin flue only gets warm and this is much safer.
