Salamander Stoves: Designed for Tight Spaces. Built to Perform.
Salamander Stoves is a family run business based in the Devon countryside, specialising in high quality cast iron stoves for compact spaces. Founded in 2009 by Mark and Gill, the company draws on over 20 years of experience with antique and modern stoves. Each product is hand finished, fettled and inspected in their Devon workshop to ensure reliable, long lasting performance. Identifying a gap in the market, Salamander Stoves developed a compact cast iron stove that delivers the efficiency and charm of larger wood burners without taking up excess space. This led to the creation of the Hobbit Stove: a 4.1kW, characterful and affordable model with a timeless design suited to a wide range of interiors. Originally designed for small fireplaces to preserve Victorian and Edwardian features, the Hobbit Stove has grown in popularity alongside the small spaces movement. Today, it is widely used in a variety of unique and compact living environments. Building on this success, the company introduced the Little Range Cookstove. With a 4.3kW output, it offers the same benefits as the Hobbit Stove, alongside added cooking functionality, including a spacious oven and stainless steel cooktop. Rather than expanding into a large catalogue, Salamander Stoves focuses on a refined, versatile range. Customers can personalise their stove with optional extras such as the extended hotplate, stand, brass fittings and coloured doors. All models can also include a 1kW side boiler for hot water, ideal for off-grid living. Enhance your collection with their cast iron multi fuel stoves, offering customers a compact solution that delivers exceptional heat output and performance.

A Short History of Twin Wall Chimneys and SFL.
The Selkirk Chimney is an insulated chimney that was invented by Kelly Sveinson in 1933. The first one they made was using the metal from a Coca-Cola sign. That’s why pre-fabricated chimney is called the Selkirk Chimney for years. Because of Sveinson’s invention people were and still can heat their homes safely. The chimney was made with insulation between the hollow metal inside and metal outside to prevent waste gasses from cooling down too quickly as they were escaping. In a regular brick chimney the gases would cool too quickly causing them to stick to the brick and they would eat away at it causing it to become weak and dangerous. (Selkirk museum, Heritage Highlights 2023) In 1957, Selkirk introduced “rock wool” insulated chimney for solid fuel appliances. Selkirk Metal Products were a big success in the US and Canada. Selkirk started a subsidiary Selkirk Manufacturing Limited in Barnstaple, Devon to start manufacturing and selling products to the UK and Europe. Company has changed hands and its name to SFL in 2003. History sets apart innovators from copiers in the market. Since 1969, SFL has remained one of the UK’s leading names in flue and chimney manufacturing. An achievement grounded in engineering excellence, Britishbuilt craftsmanship and a relentless commitment to innovation. Serving both residential and commercial sectors, producing highperformance flue solutions that stand the test of time. Most known SFL brand was SMW® and it was the rockwool insulated Twist Lock chimney used in solid fuel appliances for over 50 years. SMW formed the basis of SFlue® and Nova® branded products. New addition to SMW based flagship systems in SFL’s lineup is the NEXUS® Twin Wall Flue System, engineered and manufactured in the UK to represent the next generation of twistlock chimney technology. NEXUS® combines high thermal efficiency with a userfriendly twistlock jointing mechanism that it is the only twist lock product in the world with wide locking band that stays on for quick installation, celebrated for its clean visual profile and rapid installation method, making it a top choice for installers and homeowners seeking both aesthetics and performance. Designed for all solid fuels, its fully welded construction and highperformance insulation support both EcoDesignready and DEFRAapproved appliances, while the standard RAL 9004 satin black finish ensures a refined appearance suitable for modern and traditional stove installations. With UKCA and CE certifications, the system is backed by robust testing and demonstrates compliance with the latest industry standards. Supporting the needs of adaptable heating systems, SFL offers the SELFLEX® flexible chimney liner, a doubleskin, multifuel, gas and oilcompatible durable yet flexible product. Its versatility makes it a preferred solution for installations where reliability and compliance are paramount. To ensure seamless integration between appliances and chimney systems, SFL’s SVIT® vitreous enamel connecting pipe and Sigma® stainless connecting pipe provides a robust and reliable link between stoves and either existing brick chimneys or prefabricated twinwall systems. reinforcing SFL’s commitment to offering complete, endtoend solutions that simplify every stage of the installation process.

Gas, wood, electric or bioethanol. DRU has the perfect flames.

Established in the Netherlands in 1754, its UK subsidiary Drugasar has been active in the UK commercial and domestic heating sectors since 1975. In the 1930s, DRU developed the balanced flue system, which has become a standard operating system for many millions of gas heating appliances worldwide. Since the start of the 21st century, DRU has designed and produced a range of contemporary gas fires based on the balanced flue system, with a wide selection of designs, sizes and capacities. DRU has also developed its Global range of mid-priced gas fires, which include conventional flue models that are compatible with UK chimneys and a unique cavity wall gas fire for homes built since the 1960s.

Chimella: The Benchmark for Chimney Airflow Control in UK Homes
For years, our industry has faced a growing challenge—how to balance the performance of traditional fireplaces with the increasing demand for energy efficiency in UK homes. One of the most overlooked factors in that conversation is the chimney itself. Often described as “a great big hole in the roof,” an open chimney continues to draw warm air out of a property 24 hours a day when a fireplace isn’t in use. While it plays a vital role in safely removing smoke and fumes when you light your fire, it can massively work against the very efficiency standards now shaping the future of housing. As an industry, we’ve all seen the impact this has had. Fireplaces are too often viewed as a liability in energy calculations—something to be removed, sealed, or designed out altogether. But that view is about to change! At Chimella, we’ve spent the last 14 years focused on one goal: helping our industry adapt, without losing what makes fireplaces so valuable in the first place. The aim has never been to replace or rethink the fireplace—but to support it. The Chimella Chimney Umbrella is designed to give installers and homeowners control over chimney airflow in seconds, reducing heat loss by over 75% when the fireplace is not in use. At the same time, it helps prevent damp and keeps debris out, improving the overall condition and usability of the fireplace chimney airflow system.. More importantly, it allows us to reframe the role of the fireplace in modern homes. Following years of government testing, development, and industry engagement, Chimella is now the only chimney airflow control product recognised within Sap 10.2 and RdSAP. This is a significant step forward—not just for us, but for the wider fireplace sector. For the first time, chimney performance can be directly accounted for within official energy assessments. Each Chimella installation has the potential to contribute measurable improvements to a property’s rating, supporting the push toward EPC band C and beyond. For installers and retailers, this creates a new opportunity. Instead of working against energy efficiency conversations, we can now be part of them—offering solutions that both preserve and enhance the role of fireplaces within the home. Chimneys no longer need to be seen as a weakness; with the right approach, they can become part of the value proposition. This isn’t about changing what we do. It’s about strengthening it. By addressing airflow and heat loss in a simple, practical way, Chimella helps ensure that fireplaces remain not only desirable, but relevant in an evolving market. As the industry continues to adapt, solutions like this allow us to move forward together—protecting fireplace sales, supporting installers, and ensuring that the future of our trade remains as strong as its heritage.
Midtec: British-Built Cowls Leading the Way in Chimney Performance
With increasing demand for reliable, high-performance chimney solutions, British manufacturing is firmly back in the spotlight—and for good reason. Across the trade, sweeps and installers are looking for products that not only perform but stand up to the realities of UK conditions. From persistent down draught to heavy rain exposure, chimney terminals need to work harder than ever. One company at the forefront of this movement is Midtec, whose range of cowls is gaining attention for combining robust British manufacturing with practical, installer-focused innovation. Innovation Designed for Real-World Conditions Modern chimney cowls are no longer just simple covers—they are engineered components designed to actively improve chimney performance while simplifying installation. A standout example is the PONTO design, which introduces a push-on, twist-off fitting—an innovation specifically created to make installs quicker and easier on site. This intuitive mechanism removes unnecessary hassle, allowing installers to secure the cowl efficiently while still benefiting from a design that helps combat down draught and maintain consistent airflow. It’s a practical solution that reflects the real needs of the trade: less time fitting, more confidence in performance. Alongside this, the NEW Square MFE Pothanger has been developed to address two of the most common on-site challenges: down draught and rain ingress. A first of its kind, it offers a dedicated solution for square chimney pots—enhancing airflow management while providing improved protection against driving rain. In increasingly unpredictable weather conditions, solutions like this are proving invaluable. The Case for British Manufacturing For many in the trade, product origin is just as important as performance. British manufacturing offers a level of assurance that’s hard to match—consistent quality control, dependable supply, and products designed specifically for UK installations. By producing cowls domestically, manufacturers like Midtec maintain high standards across their range, ensuring every unit is built to withstand the demands of the British climate. It’s a commitment to quality that translates directly to reliability on the roof. Built with Installers in Mind Ease of installation is a major consideration for sweeps and installers alike. Time on site matters, and innovations like the PONTO’s push-on, twist-off design demonstrate how thoughtful engineering can streamline the process without compromising on durability. At the same time, long-term performance remains essential. Durable construction reduces the likelihood of return visits, helping installers maintain strong customer relationships and a reputation for quality workmanship. Meeting the Needs of a Changing Industry As industry expectations continue to evolve, so too must the products being specified. Chimney cowls are no longer passive components—they are active contributors to system performance. With forward-thinking designs like the PONTO and the NEW Square MFE Pothanger, British-made cowls are setting a benchmark for innovation, practicality, and reliability. For those in the trade seeking dependable, easy-to-install solutions that are built for UK conditions, British manufacturing continues to lead the way.
