Choosing between Pumice and Ceramic for a house build project or development.

Our experts, Damian Tyrrell and John Read have years of experience between them and can answer all the questions you have. Schiedel UK specialises in Pumice and Ceramic products and has done for many years, but our experts are often asked one question in particular…

What is the difference?

Both products are high-quality, robust chimney systems and excellent options. Whilst they are both sourced from natural materials, the development of these materials is where the similarities begin to differ.

As two of our best-selling ranges to our portfolio, we have decided to develop a brand new document that will not only explain the key differences between the two but what the benefits to both are and the type of properties and projects they are best suited to. 

By breaking these two products down and simplifying their key elements, we hope to help you to choose the correct system based on the requirements of your project.
