Protection of pipes in a wooden house - Vitcas sleeve as a fire barrier

Safe installation of the flue system in heating structures requires the use of certified materials with the highest thermal resistance. Properly executed insulation in the form of a fireproof sleeve effectively protects the building from the risk of ignition and heat loss. A properly installed fireproof sleeve is the most important barrier separating the hot pipe from the flammable ceiling joists. In a project like a wooden house, the priority must be to maintain the proper distances and continuity of the insulation layer. Vitcas products are designed to withstand the extreme temperatures emitted by flue systems. The installation process should begin by precisely wrapping the flue with a fireproof sleeve, paying attention to the precise adhesion of this material to the surface. Such a protective layer effectively reduces the transfer of thermal energy, which directly translates into the safety of all household members.

How to install Vitcas sleeves around chimney passages through wood.

Effective fire protection also requires the use of dedicated clamps or high-temperature adhesives to stabilize the insulation. Note that any chimney passing through ceilings or frame walls must have a certified sleeve of the appropriate thickness. Fireproof sleeve is characterized by high flexibility, which makes it much easier to work in hard-to-reach places and tight penetrations. During installation, it is worth making sure that the material is not mechanically damaged, which could weaken its thermal insulation properties. Regular inspection of the technical condition of chimney passages during chimney sweeps is a guarantee of the longevity of the entire heating system. The use of system insulation solutions is an important step in the construction of a chimney installation, which allows you to avoid costly failures and dangerous situations. With products such as the fireproof sleeve from the Vitcas store, chimney passages will meet the highest standards of fire protection.
