Location of the system
Make sure that the location of the installation is accurately measured and that any installation
takes into account obstacles such as floors and ceilings and the roof construction.
FOUNDATION AND REINFORCEMENT
Before building the frame and chimney, make sure that the floor can carry the weight of the
whole system and that the floor is stable, level and non-flammable.
The foundation should be at least a 100mm thick reinforced concrete slab.
LIP GLUE FOR THE PUMICE COMPONENTS
Schiedel ISOKERN Chimney Adhesive is used for the construction of all the Pumice elements
within the frame and chimney. The mixing instructions are shown on the packaging.
Apply the glue using the mortar bags provided to achieve a uniform application rate. Apply
sufficient glue so that the glue is pressed out between the blocks during assembly.
Excess glue should be removed continuously inside and outside using a trowel and subsequently
cleaned with a damp, soft brush or sponge.
RENDER
Schiedel ISOKERN chimney render is used for surface treatment. The mixing instructions are
shown on the packaging.
The external part of the chimney that is open to the elements must be rendered to avoid
moisture entering the chimney modules.
