Each chimney comes with integral bonded timber grounds and should be fixed securely to the roof trusses with galvanised straps not supplied. Finishes and roof positions our prefabricated chimney range should be suitable for the vast majority of housebuilding schemes. Quickstack the cost effective solution to traditional build high quality prefabricated grp brick slip chimney stacks available clad in brick stone and concrete block render ready.

Additional timber should be nailed horizontally between the trusses where the chimney will be seated to allow fixing through the front and rear fixing plates in addition to the side plates. Many types of grp mock or false chimney have been produced from simple single pot designs suitable for small houses through to large multi pot designs which can stand over two meters high.
