Artisan have a range of powerflue fires for homes without chimneys. Standard models are shown in our powerflue section on the left hand side of the page. They comprise fires which have been designed with a dedicated fan flue system. Until now, the choice of powerflue fires has been limited to these specific models.
Artisan are now able to supply a fan flue system for use on a range of hole in the wall fires, basket fires, cast iron fireplaces in fact almost any open fronted gas appliance.

	Fires need to burn in a chamber made from fireproof materials. The example shown here is made from Teknilite. This is a lightweight fireproof material used in wood burning stoves. Teknilite fire chambers are supplied in a kit complete with a tub of fireproof cement and screws. Other materials can be used to create a fire chamber such as steel, masonry, etc. Whatever materials you use for a fire chamber, you must ensure that they comply with Building Regulations. We can also manufacture the chamber complete with a gather in all galvanised steel, more information will follow shortly
	Picture left shows the fire chamber with the gather fitted to the 5" twinwall flue system which connects to the fan flue unit on the outside wall
	Studwork is fixed around the chamber & flue system ready for plasterboarding Knauf Drywall Studwork is a steel studwork system that can be used instead of timber. Apart from generally being cheaper than timber it is quicker and neater to install. As it is non-combustible the regulation regarding keeping a minimum 50mm clearance to combustible materials does not apply as it would with timber studwork. Knauf Plasterboard and Accessories including Metal stud and track are available from All Build Centre Branches Most Travis Perkins Branches. All Wicks DIY Branches. All Trade Depot Branches.
