Chimneys come in all shapes, sizes, and materials. Popular with todays consumers are the likes of cement and clay, but one material that stands head and shoulders above the rest is pumice.

A volcanic stone, pumice is a natural insulator that is perfect for keeping heat and getting things warmed up quickly. Thanks to its volcanic properties, it’s highly resistant to changes in temperate that can, with other lesser quality materials, cause damage. Aesthetics are not compromised either, as this lightweight material is easy to handle and the stone colour and texture provides the perfect look and feel that suits all manners of homes.

Topstak, a leading chimney retailer in Cowbridge, Wales, have an unrivaled range of chimneys, and know a thing or two about pumice. Here’s why they consider pumice to be a great choice of material for new or refurbished chimneys:

• Pumice is a highly insulating, providing better draw and less heat loss compared to that of clay or cement
• It is incredibly sturdy but also very lightweight
• Pumice allows the flue gases within the chimney to reach their optimal temperatures quickly, meaning the chimney heats up quicker and maintains its warmth
• Pumice provides maximum performance as it is resistance to variations in temperatures, expanding and contracting less than other chimney systems
• Pumice chimneys are often quick and easy to assemble
