Chimney Type Information

At Simon Turner Gas we can advise you on exactly which fire or other gas / lpg appliance you are looking for that will work with your home - there's nothing worse than finally finding the perfect appliance only to get it home and find that it doesn't work for your chimney.

In the mean time please have a quick look at our guide below to get a good idea of what differences there are in the different chimney types.



1. Conventional Chimney
The conventional brick built chimney is suitable for all fires and stoves. As these chimneys are deep you can choose a full depth fire through to the shallower more slimline products.

2. Prefabricated Flue
Prefabricated flues are suitable for most fires and gas stoves. Pre-fabricated chimneys offer a good depth so you can choose from the majority of full depth fires and all slimline fires.

3. Precast Flues
Precast chimneys are found in most modern homes and suitable for a wide range of slimline fires and electric stoves. Full depth fires can also be used with Precast flues (with some modification such as spacer kits). If unsure - call us!

4. No Chimney
You'd be surprised how many appliances can be fitted in a property without a chimney - look in our products area under 'No Chimney Fires and Stoves' - be sure to contact us if you have any concerns.
