Structural Chimney Drafting and Design

The contribution that traditional chimneys make the roofscape to our settlements provides a valuable context for the design of modern or contemporary chimney design drawings. It should not be assumed that chimneys would be inappropriate in such a design solution. Designing chimneys in a modern way can add excitement and interest to the roofscape of our settlements, which themselves are the result of an amalgam of different building styles from different eras. It is this variety that makes them so interesting. They can also serve functional purposes such as housing the central heating flue.

The design of any flue should take into account all of the following:

• Flue temperature
• Heat resistance
• Thermal stresses
• Acid resistance
• Shape and size of the flue
• Soot build up
• Size and type of appliance or open fire it is to serve
• Insulating properties

Perched on a roof, out of eyesight, many chimneys are neglected as features in their own right. They need not be to the same apparel as the stunning, seemingly incredible spiralling/twisting, and moulded chimneys of highly specialized projects, but a well built, thought out and planned chimney can stand proud on your home for many generations. Contact us or send Email: info@7solutionindia.com to know more about our chimney drafting and design services.
