Metal chimneys can be used to vent any appliance. The
type and size of the metal chimney is determined by the appliance that is being
vented.
Benefits:
- You can install an appliance almost anywhere in a
room, not just next to an existing masonry chimney.
- You can install an appliance that won't properly
vent through an existing chimney for size or safety reasons.
- The appliance drafts better, because the chimney
is the exact size that is needed.
- The chimney is easier to maintain and clean as
metal does not absorb creosote.
- It can be enclosed in a chase, which is a wooden
structure built around it and which can then be sided to match your home, or
covered with brick or stone facing to look like a traditional chimney.
