CASE STUDIES Here you will find several detailed case studies related to the FuranFlex products
Project
Problem
Challenge
Courtfield Gardens London SW5 0PD The flue serving the ground floor flat, which serves an open gas fire, was breached. This meant a high chance of carbon monoxide leaking into other properties.
Lasborough Park Tetbury GL8 8UF Existing Flue Failed smoke test. Existing flues had oval clay liners in situ and external walls were granite.
Lartington Hall DL12 9BW The existing marble fireplace was to be used so a large diameter of flue liner needed to be maintained. It was decided that Furnaflex was going to the most cost effective and practical solution in maintaining the flue diameter within the chimney stack due to its thickness.
After calculating the opening size of the fireplace, existing flue dimensions, and height of the property, it was clear that stainless steel was not able to achieve an adequate cross sectional area of flue.
Result
FuranFlex Black was chosen. A 22 meter x 275mm liner was installed in a single day with minimal mess. The flue now performs properly, and a 25 year guarantee and HETAS certificates were issued on completion of the contract.
Parts of the building were over 500 years old, this meant other lining methods such as steel may damage the buildings structure. It would also be highly time consuming and unpredictable if the granite had to be removed to gain access to the flue.
FuranFlex was used and meant only access at each end of the flue was needed to install the liner. 2 FuranFlex Blacks were installed and a 25 year guarantee was given after the installation was complete. Installation of 2 liners took 2 days.
Large marble fireplace in reception room with a chimney length of 12 metres tapering towards the top. The chimney measured 275mm square through to the chimney stack. This was one of eight chimneys which Specialist Chimney Services was asked to survey and quote for relining. The existing chimney had a flexible 175mm flue liner installed to loft height and from this point to the top of the stack twin wall rigid insulated chimney system had been installed.
After the existing flue liner and chimney system had been removed cast in situ pumped cement was used to form a gather to locate the bottom of the FuranFlex liner. A 300mm RWV liner was winched up through the existing chimney. After the curing had been completed the liner was trimmed top and bottom.
Maintain cross sectional area of chimney and ensure gas and water tight.

How does FuranFlex work?
FuranFlex is based on a glass fibre reinforced thermosetting resin, which is as strong as steel, when set, but has much better corrosion resistance than other methods. It is extremely thin (circa 3mm), has no joints and is installed by our factory trained engineers, providing the guaranteed solution for all lining applications.
A FuranFlex tube consists of three layers which, when delivered, takes the form of a soft flexible tube folded into a compact pack. The Furanflex liner comes deflated has to be inserted into the flue before being inflated to the flue size. Once the liner is in place a steam generator is attached and it is heated. Once hardened the FuranFlex liner is as strong as steel liners and provides a perfect gas tight lining ready to use. The installation process of FuranFlex is very clean and non intrusive with most installations completed in one day.
FuranFlex structure and composition The internal layer facilitates installation, it is a thin-walled (100 - 150 microns) plastic hose made of a mixture of thermoplastic components. The intermediate composite layer is the heat, flame and corrosion resistant structural material of the FuranFlex® chimney liner tube. Composite means resin of high solidity reinforced with thin glass fibres.The solidity of composite materials is determined by the amount, type and direction of the thinner-than-hair reinforcing fibres. One square metre of the wall structure of the FuranFlex liner tube contains 3,000,000 metres of factory specified fibre. The external layer is a thin fabric woven from synthetic fibre. Its function is to protect the composite layer and to ensure the exact perimeter of the chimney tube. Its other function is to form a homogenous external surface. The brand name “KompozitorFuranFlex®”is printed on it, as is a metre scale indicating the length of FuranFlex used.
