These fully functional ‘dummy’ chimneys are being used on Court Barton, Clifford.  The Client and Contractor wanted to avoid building free stand masonry stacks to carry chimneys in the timber frame houses.  One of the solutions put forward and accepted was the combination of offsite pre-manufactured chimneys and a Class 1 Pujoulat flue. The chimney fabricator collects facing material samples from site, then cuts slips and fixes these to the main GRP body.  These are then lifted into place and dressed with leadwork to hide the join.

Wall protection needn’t be boring… be inspired by the hungry caterpiller!
