Chimney
History
No matter the size,
traditional chimneys were usually built using
brick.
Although we see the Romans
using tubes in the walls to draw smoke out of
bakeries, we do not see real chimneys until the
13th century in Europe. It is not until the 18th
century that we see the emergence of industrial
chimneys.
No matter the size, traditional chimneys were
usually built using brick. In the beginning we
see just a simple brick construction, with
liners surrounded by brick slowing becoming the
standard. Sometimes we see chimney pots (a form
of venting cap) placed on top of the chimney to
avoid downdrafts.
