How do I insulate the flue for my stove or insert? Which insulation should I choose?

When installing your stove or insert, it is essential that the flue pipe is properly insulated. Not only does this allow the combustion smoke to escape properly, it also keeps the heat inside your appliance at a constant high level. You'll save energy and heat your space more quickly.

To insulate the wall through which the flue passes, we recommend using a mineral component such as glass wool or rock wool. When selecting this component, bear in mind that it is essential to maintain a certain distance between the flue and the walls of the wall.
