France’s green heat wave hits UK

For more than 30 years, Cheminées Poujoulat has devoted its operations to the improved design of chimney and flues for biomass heating systems in houses, apartments and industrial buildings.

For new-build, or renovation projects and for all appliances that require a chimney or flue, Cheminées Poujoulat (UK) have a solution that is adapted for the application, appliance and fuel, using their comprehensive range of system chimneys, connections, liners, terminals, exhaust fans, silencer, generator exhausts, pressurized and condensing systems, etc.

Recognising the huge potential of wood burning stoves as a renewable heat system in the UK, Poujoulat UK are concentrating their efforts on servicing this youthful market, says spokesperson, Julien Poplineau. “In France we are about 10 years ahead of UK in terms of the development of renewable heat, and the regulations, incentives that have grown the market. As Europe leaders in what we do, we can tap into the past decade of experience and knowledge and adapt it for the needs of the UK market. We have thoroughly researched the market here and have witnessed a 20% rise in sales of wood burning stoves last year, as well as a constantly growing network of installers.

“There is definitely a green wave of interest in this renewable heat system, particularly for renovation projects but there’s also a growing market in new-builds.”

Based in Guildford, Poujoulat UK sell directly to stove stores in the south east and to nationwide distributors.
This innovative company is the only manufacturer that produces the full range of chimney and flue products along with innovative products such as their Warm Air Distribution System and their fully compatible flues for wood pellet stoves – the only one of its kind in Europe. The Cheminées Poujoulat Group’s 120,000 sqm premises houses a warehouse, showroom and a HETAS training centre – one of just five UK centres training stove installers.

Cheminées Poujoulat manufactures every conceivable product required for installation of chimneys and flues – from 60mm to 5m in diameter, commercial and domestic.

“We are the leader in Europe at what we do,” says Julien, “and we aim to be the leader in UK also. We know where we are going and how to get there.”
