Vienne_Billygoats Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hi, I need to buy some 8" (200mm dia) twinwall flue liner & fittings to install my woodburner on an internal wall then through the celing & small roofspace in our annex, without the opportunity to use an existing chineyI know how & where to buy the components in the UK, but it seems daft to bring it all the way back from there.I have not seen any twinwall flue or fittings in any of the various DIY outlets/sheds in the Poitiers (86) area, and would very much like to source it locally.Any suggestions on retailers or inetrnet suppliers in France would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks in advance,Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Try a plumbers merchant/builders merchant or somewhere similar. They are definitely around as my plumber will be fitting one for my boiler flue in a few weeks. Prices have increased significantly for these things 1/Aug - as my plumber mentioned this so purchased the sections before then (thus I have a bit of confidence it might get installed this year).That said, I'm not sure what diameter he is installing.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattjazz Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Not sure if they do twinwall but most of the D.I.Y sheds do flues etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 hi ok you can get them in most of the brico`s ,you might see a sample on the wall somewhere in the shop but you will have to order it and the price is silly money very expensive. its far easier and cheeper to use "bwassos" not how you spell it ,it`s a block for building a chiminey. hope this helps dave there is a bit of a pic here http://s83.photobucket.com/albums/j311/daveolive/but after i renderd them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vienne_Billygoats Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Many thanks for the relies to date. Dave & Olive, I especially like your idea of a chimney construction, and note that we share the same "traditional" approaches to studwork etc.Your photos were really useful.many thanksmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 hi ok thanks for the ego boost , the only rule you need to follow is make sure you leave150 cm gap from the inside of the chiminey to any woodwork ie joists ,chevrons ect dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I believe you are allowed a smaller gap than 150 cm.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
