Abstract: |
Chimneys are often prominent and significant parts of historic buildings and fireplaces are frequently striking and significant elements of the interior. Many chimneys were constructed in single skin brickwork and are very sensitive to alteration. Great care should be taken and specialist advice sought, before adapting or altering a chimney. Fireplaces and chimneys are often still in use, some for open fires, some for room heating stoves, and some for central heating and hot water boilers. Many other fireplaces and chimneys are no longer needed and have been blocked up, temporarily or permanently. Whether used or unused, fireplaces and chimneys can have an important role in improving the energy efficiency of a building |
