False Chimney On Roof

The plywood box should be constructed to allow adequate space for a code 4 lead dressing between the grp stack and plywood box.

False chimney on roof.

Many types of grp mock or false chimney have been produced from simple single pot designs suitable for small houses through to large multi pot designs which can stand over two meters high. Finishes and roof positions our prefabricated chimney range should be suitable for the vast majority of housebuilding schemes. Unlike real brick or stone our strong polyurethane panels will never chip or dust and don t need pointing and cleaning. Additional timber should be nailed horizontally between the trusses where the chimney will be seated to allow fixing through the front and rear fixing plates in addition to the side plates.

If however roof structures are affected by fire the weakened joists may not support the weight of the false chimney. Our false chimneys are lightweight and strong in design thereby saving a large amount of space on the construction work needed to support the false chimney. Using fake brick and stone is a smart way to give chimneys a facelift easily and economically. The false chimney is extremely easy to fit and most false chimneys require only a standard roof design with solid fixing points below.

Quickstack dummy chimneys provide the ideal cost effective solution to traditional chimney building methods. Tiles or slates are removed and then replaced around the new false chimney. Grp chimneys glass reinforced plastic grp is a matrix of woven glass fibre sheets layered and set within resin. Fixed to the roof by a simply constructed upstand the finish of each design may vary from smooth through to roughly texture.

Roof felt is to be fitted at a later stage it must be fully lapped under the chimney felt to ensure a continuous run. A lead skirt is. Each chimney comes with integral bonded timber grounds and should be fixed securely to the roof trusses with galvanised straps not supplied. The roof members will be strong enough to support the dead weight of the chimney and imposed forces such as wind.

Normally risks posed by weakened roof structures may result in roof coverings slipping off the pitch. The false chimney system comes complete with a grp class 1 fire retardant gutter fixing system all round the base. All supplied fixings must be used. Quickstack the cost effective solution to traditional build high quality prefabricated grp brick slip chimney stacks available clad in brick stone and concrete block render ready.
