If you are thinking of buying a wood burning stove or gas fire there is a strong possibility your chimney will need lining.
The reason we have chimneys is to safely remove the bi-products of burning from a wood burner, wood burning fire, log fire, gas fire and gas stove. This way the fumes are taken from the wood burning, gas or multi-fuel appliance to the outside of our homes without causing any danger or discomfort to the people that live there.
There are a number of reasons why a chimney may need lining:
There are many different ways of lining a chimney, the suitability of these methods depends on your individual system. You should seek advice from a professional on which solution is the best for you.
For more information on this please visit the HETAS website and get in touch with your local Stovax retailer.

I have a 4 inch flue liner which fire can I use with this size flue please
None of our fires can be used on a 4 inch liner. Only a select number of balanced flue fires can be used with a chimney renovation kit where a four inch liner can be used as part of the set up. Those are the Reflex 75 and 105 and the Riva2 fires.
if i have a 7in brick chimney can I adjust the riva2 500 flue to rear exit without using a 5in liner ?
Yes the Riva 2 500 conventional flue can be fitted into a builders opening unlined (with a minimum 7”).
Our new build has a masonary chimney with a 8 inch clay flue Liner.
We are looking to buy the Riva2 750. We would prefer a balanced flue that uses the chimney.
Is this achievable? As we really do not want a conventional flue in our new home
Hello, yes the Riva2 750 can be installed with either a conventional flue or a balanced flue. Your local retailer can advise you which is best for your home, find your nearest one here. Many thanks, Chris
