Twin walled rigid pipe
Ashworth 5
What is Twin Wall?
Twin walled pipe has an outside wall made of stainless steel and a layer of insulation between it and the inside wall. This protects your hands and property from heat radiation and thus can be used externally and internally, in houses, summer houses, boats, garden cabins, man-caves and glamping pods. It is also known as a rigid pipe system or an external factory made system.
How long will a twin wall installation take?
Once the design is completed by your HETAS engineer the works usually take place over two visits. Sometimes the design needs to be amended during installation, hence splitting over two days, in case extra or alternative parts are needed. This also helps if there is bad weather.There will be some disruption whilst we are working, as we need to core a hole through your exterior wall for the pipe to go through, but mostly we will be working outside on ladders constructing your new flue.
Do I need a log-store?
We usually recommend free-standing stoves with log stores as without a fireplace or surround there is no natural place to store your wood once the fire is lit. This also raises the stove and makes it easier to access.Planning Permission
All twin wall systems need planning permission from your local building authority or fitting by a HETAS installer, even in your shed!We are an experienced twin wall installer and always use a stainless steel system over the cheaper galvanised steel as research and experience has shown it to be more durable at high temperatures and less susceptible to corrosion and rust. It is available in silver or black.

"From start to finish the whole process was managed very well and the two gentlemen who completed the work and installation were very friendly and completed my installation to a high standard, cleaning up thoroughly after each visit."
