Jul22493 25. The flue gas renovation sector is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by European climate policy and national renovation strategies. The demand for high-quality and non-invasive retrofit solutions is growing fast, and one company is sitting at the very heart of this transformation. F.F. Kanaalrenovatie is a flue gas system renovation specialist that has been recognised in the Benelux Enterprise Awards 2025 for its substantial contributions to the sector. We found out more from Director Rudie Balink below, in the wake of the company’s remarkable achievement. Founded in 2014, F.F. Kanaalrenovatie is a specialist installation company focused on the renovation of flue gas systems in existing residential buildings. Serving as a reliable partner for technically complex renovation projects, it caters to a diverse client base, including housing corporations, homeowners’ associations, contractors, and HVAC companies. Across each project, F.F. Kanaalrenovatie’s mission is simple: to ensure safe, sustainable, and efficient flue gas extraction for every home, with minimal disruption to residents. F.F. Kanaalrenovatie’s mission is achieved through continual investment into craftsmanship, innovation, and strong partnerships, with a solutions-oriented approach rooted in pragmatism and reliability. The company allows this approach to guide its core service of refurbishing individual and collective flue gas ducts using the innovative FuranFlex® liner – a composite material that allows for the relining of existing chimney and flue systems without demolition or structural modifications. This service extends the life of aging systems and ensures compatibility with modern high-efficiency boilers, entirely in line with current safety regulations. This is precisely what sets F.F. Kanaalrenovatie apart in a crowded market – its unique combination of technical expertise, proven experience, and exclusive use of the FuranFlex® relining system. Where many competitors offer general installation services, F.F. Kanaalrenovatie focuses completely on flue gas renovation, which translates into unrivalled craftsmanship, speed, and reliability. This is especially true in complex collective systems and highrise residential projects. This focus allows the company to deliver custom solutions over standard packages, utilising its understanding that every building is different to deliver results that are technically sound and future-proof. “Our work may be technical, but it is also deeply human,” said Rudie. “Behind every flue gas renovation is a home, a family, and a responsibility to do the job right. That mindset drives everything we do. We’re proud of the systems we renovate, but even prouder of the trust we build with our clients. Whether it’s a housing association managing 1,000 apartments or a single building in need of a complex retrofit, we treat every project with the same level of care and commitment.” With this edge, F.F. Kanaalrenovatie has positioned itself as the leading specialist in flue gas duct renovation in the Netherlands, both in terms of volume and complexity. The company has successfully completed hundreds of projects across the country, from high-rise apartment blocks with complex collective systems to historical buildings requiring custom solutions. What’s more, the company played an instrumental role in introducing and establishing the innovative FuranFlex® technology in the Dutch market. By combining this cutting-edge solution with hands-on expertise, F.F. Kanaalrenovatie has been able to effectively modernise outdated systems, shorten project times, and reduce costs for its clientele. Over the years, the company has witnessed a clear shift in the market with outdated systems no longer being tolerated, regulations becoming stricter, and property owners falling under increasing pressure to meet new energy and safety standards. New technologies such as heat pumps, hydrogenready appliances, and district heating networks are being introduced, systems that require existing flue and ventilation ducts to be modernised and future-proof without the ease of demolition or evacuation. This is where F.F. Kanaalrenovatie’s services come into play. The company suspects that, in the near future, only companies offering certified, regulation-compliant, low-impact renovation solutions will thrive in this climate. Installers will be required to demonstrate more than just technical ability, with clients demanding speed, minimal disruption, traceable quality, and a deep understanding of the building stock. As a specialist in its field, F.F. Kanaalrenovatie has already aligned its operations with these emerging demands, working with FuranFlex®, following strict certification protocols, and using digital tools to plan and document each project. “Above all: we think in terms of solutions, not problems,” Rudie stated. “Where others hesitate, we move forward. That is what defines our role in a rapidly changing industry – and that is what we believe will keep us at the forefront of the Benelux region’s flue gas renovation market in the years to come.” Contact: Rudie Balink Company: F.F.
