How to deal with the kitchen flue of the renovated house

First of all, the kitchen flue is made of fiberglass mesh as the flue wall. If the flue wall is directly brushed with cement tiles, the flue wall will be heated in the later stage, and the thermal expansion and contraction will be easy to crack, cracking, and there will be a gap between the tiles and the flue wall pasted outside, and the oil smoke will easily drift out along the gap, and the oil smoke will always exist in the kitchen, and it is easy to induce lung cancer if inhaled for a long time, which is no less than smoking.

In this case, it is not very convenient to check, you need to knock off the tiles to check little by little, and there is no guarantee that such a problem will not occur again, so what can be done to avoid this phenomenon? The only way is to paste steel wire mesh on the cement layer of the flue wall, so what are the benefits of pasting steel wire mesh? 1. After the steel wire mesh is pasted on the flue wall, it is then flattened with cement mortar, and the steel wire mesh plays a uniform thermal conduction role, and it is not easy to crack if the heat conduction is uniform.

2. The steel wire mesh plays a role of tensile force, if the flue pipe is heated and expanded, the tensile force of the steel wire mesh can prevent the cracking of the cement mortar layer that affects the steel wire mesh and the product gap between the ceramic tile and the mortar.

3. Even if the flue wall is cracked, the cement mortar layer wrapped with the steel wire mesh will not crack, and the smell of oil smoke will still not come out, which is equivalent to double protection. Another requirement is to extend 10-15cm to the adjacent wall, why? Because the steel wire mesh is paved on the flue pipe, if the flue pipe is expanded, the steel wire mesh will be loosened, so our company requires 10-15cm to extend to the adjacent wall, and the next wall is silty cement mortar and pasted with tiles, which is equivalent to saying that the steel wire mesh is firmly fixed on both sides, no matter how it is pulled, unless there is an earthquake, the steel wire mesh will be loosened.

So. We are very strict about the steel wire mesh process. There are many more questions and details like this.

Because it does not occupy the steel wire mesh and does not stretch out 10-15cm, it is more convenient for the master to do things, save a little material, and also save the process of the master laying the steel wire mesh, so many guerrillas or companies that do not understand the process will ignore this problem, more because the owner does not understand, do not do it can save costs, and make more money, in fact, there are many hidden projects, if the owner does not understand very well, it is easy to be pitted, so if you know a little more, you are also a master.

For the flue, regardless of whether the flue is used at home or not, the flue can not be removed or blocked, because the flue is collectively owned by each unit, and the removal will affect the emission of oil smoke.

I hope my answer can help you.

No, as long as the occupants above and below you are also sealed, you can also knock them out.

The house we handed over was sealed above and below, so our flue was also sealed, so we didn't need to inform the property.
