I need to fit an external flue for a log burner being installed but have only seen stainless steel shiny flues, which are very obtrusive, so wondering if you can get them in Matt black?

Yes you can

Yes but but depending on where you have it the stainless one may blend in more particularly against a skyline due to the reflections.

Either way good planning will make all the difference with an external one or your house will look like the local kebab shop. 😀

Thanks, yes indeed I don’t want it to be honest, as it has to go quite high due to the roof details. I think black will be the least obtrusive option but haven’t seen one.

You can get them powder coated. Mine’s white. They’ll do them any colour you want 😀

I used this, great price and matt black option.
