With the development of house building technologies, such a seemingly antediluvian detail of a building like a chimney had to lose its significance and disappear from the roofs. However, this did not happen. Moreover, production in this area is constantly being modernized and improved, and brick pipes are increasingly replacing steel chimneys . Modern chimneys made of stainless steel, which are built on a modular basis, have become firmly established in modern architecture.
This is due to the fact that the demand for chimneys remains high. Even if electric heating is provided in a country building, the owners prefer to install a "live" fireplace, that is, one that is heated with wood. Therefore, the correct installation of the chimney remains relevant.
The sad statistics of fires in private houses indicate that a large part of them occurs precisely due to shortcomings in the assembly of the chimney or neglect of its competent arrangement. For example, building owners do not always consider it necessary to purchase and install a chimney deflector or some other components of the entire system.
Definitely - a specialist must be engaged in the design and installation of this device. In this case, taking into account the design features of the roof will also be of great importance. A professional knows perfectly well which of the materials in each case when purchasing the entire structure to prefer - steel, natural ceramics, brick, etc.
It is also worth noting that the choice of a certain building material from which all parts of the chimney are made is not only practical, because the part protruding above the roof - the pipe - must be in harmony with the rest of the roofing components. Therefore, the decorative properties of the chimney are also taken into account. Thus, this entire system must meet not only safety requirements, but also correlate with the entire architectural style of the building.
