Furanflex Case Studies

FuranFlex chimney lining is perfect for commercial or domestic condensing boiler flues, gas fires, oil heating flues and can even be used for solid fuel chimney lining.

Because not all chimneys are the same shape or design and sometimes traditional lining methods cannot achieve a suitable uniform integrity. FuranFlex has been developed to mould to the shape and run of the flue and can also be installed in any diameter and any length without joints in the lining making it completely gas tight.

This award winning FuranFlex technology is made from a glass fibre reinforced thermosetting resin composite. This means when installed FuranFlex liners are as strong as steel and also resists corrosion better than steel chimney liners.

Deterioration by flue acid attacks, This chimney required a new flue in readiness for a condensing boiler. All other products were considered but the chimney was too large for a render system or flexi-liner and a pumped concrete liner would restrict the cross section.

Job Description

A clean FuranFlex installation, stepped-up as required, retained the cross-sectional area. Chimney capping and refurbishment works completed the project.

Customer Comment

Mr Ron Bryant of Delron Services Ltd inspected the installation and said "What a fantastic solution for commercial gas boilers. Many thanks for the very professional manner in which the FuranFlex lining works were carried out. The finished job is very impressive and extends the useable life of the chimney for many decades to come."

Access both to the building and to the chimney while boilers were being moved and new units installed. Time taken, the need for coordination with the other contractors and costs made this one of the most demanding projects. It was also the highest installation of its type in Europe with considerable weights involved.

Job Description

The planning and coordination required was a large factor in the success of the installation. With a day’s preparation each lining was installed in a day allowing for the equipment to be installed on the first day and removed on day six.

Although a very challenging project, with a number of interested specifiers observing, the product installation was problem free.
