SIH - The classic insulating chimney

Scheidel Swift

SWIFT

Modular 3 layer insulated chimney system

Product details

Modular 3 layer insulated chimney system   Traditionally, chimneys are completely constructed on site with separate components sourced from a number of suppliers and most likely from a variation of manufacturers. By contrast the Schiedel Swift System offers modular, prefabricated units to speed construction and facilitate consistent quality standards.

1st layer

1st layer

A high quality flue liner made of fireclay, tested to EN 1457

2nd layer

2nd layer


A flexible insulation board designed to maintain the temperature of the flue gases and allow them to pass freely up the chimney. It also allows the flue liner to expand and contract without damage.

3rd layer

3rd layer

A lightweight chimney block which safely encases the whole system and provided additional insulation.

  • Designed for speed of construction
  • Suitable for Timber Frame, Steel Frame and Masonry construction. Solutions have been specifically designed to meet the requirement of timber framed construction.
  • Modular units for easy assembly on site.
  • Suitable for all fuels – gas, oil, solid fuels and biomass.
  • Schiedel Rapid HT Cement is provided in tubes for ease of application.
  • Superior Insulation – The consistency of the insulation maintains the temperature of the flue gases allowing them to pass freely up the chimney. Back filling of insulation is not required.
  • The use of a chimney tray is always recommended.
  • The high quality fireclay flue liner complies with the European Standard EN1457-1 & 2

Suitable for timber frame, steel frame and masonry

Installation animation

This brief animations shows a typical Swift installation in a building.
Internal open fire

Internal open fire

(Timber frame, steel frame and masonry construction) Single chimney for timber frame, steel frame or masonry constructions. Available with a corbel for 3 brick wide (675mm) brick or rendered stack, or as a Plain Swift without the corbel stack (360mm square). Strengthening bars only required if chimney is taller than 1.2m.
Bend and offsets

Bend and offsets

It is recommended that a chimney be constructed as a straight chimney. Were a bend is required, for example to move the chimney into a corner in the first floor, a Schiedel Swift bend kit can be used.
 
The Breast Bend The breast bend kit will allow the flue to be offset to variable lengths, subject to the diameter being used.
 
The Roof Space Offset Kit A combination of both Schiedel Swift and Schiedel Twin wall stainless steel flue allows an offset in the roof space without the need for constructional support.
External open fire / free standing stove

External open fire / free standing stove

Suitable for a single chimney where the chimney is on the outside of the building. A bend kit can be used to offset the chimney to one side.
