The range

Our INOX Chimney Systems

An INOX chimney system is a stainless steel flue, usually twin-wall and insulated, assembled from prefabricated components rather than built from masonry. Three Schiedel systems cover almost every situation — the choice is driven by the appliance, and by whether you are building new or working with an existing chimney.

Schiedel ICS

The universal system. Twin-wall insulated and approved for all standard fuels, with push-fit jointing that cuts on-site assembly time. Its 316L liner is the only one of its type to have passed the GASTEC corrosion test. Internal diameters 80–1200 mm, rated to 600 °C.

It is specified for wood, pellet, gas and oil appliances alike, in new construction and in retrofit work where an existing building needs a new external or internal flue.

Push-fit jointing cuts labour hours. The simple push-fit jointing system dramatically reduces on-site assembly time compared with bolted or clamped alternatives, lowering the labour cost of every project.

316L liner with proven corrosion resistance. ICS is the only system of its type to have passed the GASTEC corrosion test, delivering exceptional durability across the full range of approved fuels.

Certified and guaranteed. ICS is EN certified and available with guarantee options up to ten years, giving specifiers and building control a documented basis for sign-off.

Internal diameters 80–1200 mm, external 130–750 mm. Liner 1.4404 (316L), outer casing 1.4301 (304), mineral fibre insulation at 25 or 50 mm.

Schiedel ICID Plus

Engineered for high-efficiency appliances — pellet, biomass and condensing boilers. The inner liner expands independently under thermal stress, twist-lock jointing gives exceptional rigidity, and the system is rated for positive pressure. Ten year guarantee.

Modern high-efficiency heating puts a chimney under conditions older flues were never designed for: lower flue gas temperatures, heavier condensate loads, and positive pressure in the flue. ICID Plus answers all three.

Independent liner movement. The inner liner expands and contracts independently of the outer skin, eliminating the stress concentrations that cause joint failure in rigidly coupled systems.

Twist-lock jointing. The secure twist-lock joint provides exceptional rigidity and a positive mechanical connection, making the assembled flue stable enough for long vertical runs.

Positive pressure ready. Rated for positive-pressure applications (P1), which future-proofs the installation against a later change of appliance.

Typical applications: pellet stoves and boilers, wood chip and biomass plant, gas and oil condensing boilers, and integrated building systems where the flue passes through occupied floors.

Schiedel TecnoFlex

The problem-solver for relining. A twin-skin flexible liner that negotiates bends and offsets in existing masonry chimneys without demolition, with a smooth inner wall that improves condensate drain-down. Available in 316L and 904L, ten year guarantee.

Most existing masonry chimneys are not straight. They dogleg around structural elements, change direction between floors, and narrow unpredictably. A rigid liner either will not pass, or requires opening up the stack.

Navigates bends and offsets. The flexible twin-skin construction follows the existing flue path through bends and offsets that a rigid system cannot negotiate.

Smooth inner wall. An exceptionally smooth inner wall improves condensate drain-down and reduces soot build-up, lengthening the interval between sweeps.

Interlocking joint that will not separate. The engineered joint ensures the liner cannot pull apart during installation — the most common failure mode when drawing a liner down a long stack.

Specify 316L for standard fuels, or 904L where the appliance or fuel produces an unusually aggressive condensate. Both carry a ten year guarantee.

What we do

Relining and Prefabricated Construction

Two areas where a specialist makes the difference between a system that is merely compliant and one that is right for the building.

Chimney relining and renovation

We reline and upgrade existing masonry chimneys across Slovenia and the EU. Survey and camera inspection, specification, installation drawn from the chimney head, then commissioning and documentation for building control. Most single-flue domestic relines take one day, with no demolition and no internal making good — which is what makes it viable in occupied and historic buildings.

An existing masonry flue usually needs lining when the appliance changes, when the flue leaks, or when condensate and tar have begun to damage the brickwork. A new wood burner or pellet stove fitted into an unlined older stack is the most common case we see.

Survey and camera inspection. We confirm the flue’s true path and the largest diameter that can realistically be achieved, and identify anything that has to be dealt with before lining.

Specification. We select between flexible TecnoFlex and a rigid INOX system based on the flue path, the appliance and the fuel, and specify the liner grade to match the condensate.

Installation. The liner is drawn from the chimney head, the void insulated where required, and the head weathered and capped.

Commissioning and documentation. We commission the system and hand over what building control and your insurer will ask for.

Because the liner is installed from the chimney head downwards, relining rarely requires opening up the stack. That makes it viable in occupied homes, in listed and historic buildings, and in hotels and apartment blocks where taking a building out of use is not an option.

Chimney systems for prefabricated and timber frame homes

A masonry chimney is a poor fit for factory-built housing: too heavy, built wet on a dry site, and slow at exactly the wrong point in the programme. Lightweight INOX systems weigh 4.4–22.4 kg/m against several hundred for masonry, carry certified low distances to combustible materials, and assemble dry. For repeating house types we specify once and supply to a fixed parts list per unit.

A masonry chimney is a poor fit for a timber frame or prefabricated house. It is heavy enough to require its own foundation, it is built wet on a dry site, and it takes days of trade time at exactly the point in the programme where speed matters most.

Minimal structural load. Lightweight twin-wall INOX systems impose a small fraction of the dead load of masonry — roughly 4.4 to 22.4 kg per metre against several hundred — so the floor and roof structure does not need designing around the chimney.

Certified distances to combustibles. Our systems carry certified low distances to combustible materials, the governing constraint in timber frame construction and the detail building control will check first.

Rapid dry assembly. Push-fit and twist-lock jointing means no wet trades, no curing time and no weather dependency — the chimney stops being a critical path item.

Suits energy-efficient housing. Designs support modern building standards and airtightness strategies, including room-sealed and balanced-flue configurations where required.

For repeating house types we specify the system once, agree the penetration and fire-separation details with your technical team, then supply to a fixed parts list per unit — which removes specification risk and makes the cost predictable per house.

Company

About Fumex

Fumex d.o.o. is a specialist chimney systems supplier and contractor. We combine sales, installation and technical consulting for new construction and renovation, working exclusively with Schiedel, Jeremias and Diminox across Slovenia and the European Union.

45+ years of installation

Our service legacy in chimney installation and fabrication goes back more than 45 years. That history is why we can specify confidently for unusual buildings and awkward flue paths. We are both a specialist store and a contractor — and that combination is the reason our specifications tend to survive contact with the site: the people selecting the system are the people who have installed it.

In-house fabrication

For unique architectural designs, our own workshop fabricates bespoke stainless steel components so the system fits the building rather than the other way round.

Renovation specialists

We are experts in relining and upgrading existing chimneys, including listed, historic and occupied buildings where disruption has to be kept to a minimum.

Brands and certification

We work exclusively with trusted materials from Schiedel, Jeremias and Diminox, and do not stock unbranded or uncertified components. Our systems are EN certified, with guarantee options up to ten years depending on the system specified.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an INOX chimney system?

+

A stainless steel flue assembled from prefabricated components, usually twin-wall with insulation between the skins. It replaces a masonry chimney and is significantly lighter, faster to install and easier to match precisely to the appliance.

Which Schiedel system should I choose?

+

ICS for general-purpose new build and retrofit with standard fuels, ICID Plus for condensing and biomass appliances or where positive pressure is involved, and TecnoFlex when relining an existing masonry chimney that has bends or offsets.

Can a stainless steel chimney be used in a timber frame house?

+

Yes. Insulated twin-wall INOX systems are the standard solution for timber frame and prefabricated construction, precisely because they are light and carry certified minimum distances to combustible materials.

Do you have to demolish the chimney to reline it?

+

In almost all cases, no. The liner is drawn down from the chimney head, so the stack stays intact and there is no internal making good afterwards.

How long does a chimney reline take?

+

A typical single-flue domestic reline is completed in one day. Multi-flue and commercial stacks are programmed individually after survey.

What is the maximum flue gas temperature?

+

Schiedel ICS is rated to a maximum flue gas temperature of 600 °C. Other systems in the range are rated to suit the appliances they are designed for.

Does Fumex supply only, or install as well?

+

Both. We supply installers and builders who fit the system themselves, and we also plan, install and commission complete systems with our own teams.

Do you work outside Slovenia?

+

Yes. Fumex operates in Slovenia and throughout the European Union.

How much does chimney relining cost?

+

Cost depends on the height of the stack, the liner diameter and grade, and how difficult the flue path is. We quote a fixed price after survey — send photographs and an approximate height for an initial estimate.

Does a new wood burner need a lined chimney?

+

In most cases yes. An unlined masonry flue is usually oversized and porous for a modern appliance, which causes poor draught, tarring and a real risk of leakage into the building.

What is the difference between Schiedel ICS and ICID Plus?

+

ICS is the universal system for all standard fuels, with push-fit jointing and a focus on fast installation. ICID Plus is engineered for high-efficiency condensing and biomass appliances: independently expanding inner liner, twist-lock jointing and a positive-pressure rating.

Do you supply repeating house types?

+

Yes. For repeating prefabricated types we specify once and then supply to a fixed parts list per unit, so cost and lead time are predictable across the programme.

Who is responsible for the fire separation detail?

+

We agree the penetration and separation detail with your technical team before the first unit is built, and provide the certified distances and documentation your building control body will ask for.

Which manufacturers does Fumex work with?

+

We work exclusively with Schiedel, Jeremias and Diminox, and do not stock unbranded or uncertified components.

Do you quote without a site visit?

+

For straightforward new-build work, yes — drawings and appliance details are usually enough. For relining and renovation we survey first, because the achievable flue diameter cannot be guessed reliably.

How quickly do you respond to enquiries?

+

What to send us

The more of this you can give us up front, the more precise the first answer will be: the appliance make and output, the building type and construction, the approximate flue height and route, and photographs of the existing stack if there is one. For repeating prefabricated house types, send the house type drawing and we will specify once and quote per unit.
