PROTECTING EFFICIENCY - SCHIEDEL PROTECT BOX
The new Schiedel Protect Box
provides a safe and secure solution
when installing a stainless steel
System Chimney through an air tight
house, allowing the steel chimney to
pass through floors and roofs safely,
without compromising efficiency.
Recognised at June’s Hearth and
Home exhibition as runner up in
the Fireplace and Flue category, the
Schiedel Protect Box is the ideal
solution for energy efficient dwellings.
Suitable for hot or cold roofs,
ceilings and floors, the Schiedel
Protect Box is used in combination
with an EPDM flashing kit, allowing
the chimney to pass through an
air tight membrane. Made from
Rockwool tube bound with an
aluminum laminate outer layer,
the 100mm outer skin of rockwool
insulation ensures safe distance to
combustible materials, whilst the
EPDM flashing grips the outer case of
the 50 mm insulated chimney section,
creating an air tight seal. The edges
of the EPDM flashing are then sealed
onto the air tight membrane using
the special tape provided in the kit.
The Schiedel Protect Box can be
used straight or at an angle, simply
cut on site to the correct degree.
Schiedel Protect Box benefits:
• Allows for extremely air tight
construction
• Compatible with loft insulation up

Chimney System, said: “The Schiedel
Protect Box is the ideal addition to our
product range, designed to ensure
that Stainless Steel System Chimneys
are fully compatible for use on wood
burning stoves running through
modern, energy efficient homes.
Going forward, all new homes will
have to be built to certain levels of air
tightness, and with stoves making a
significant contribution to cutting fuel
bills in these properties, it’s essential
that efficiency is not compromised.”
