A structurally reinforced, pre-fabricated and modular chimney facade system (10) is provided for enclosing a chimney stack (12) passing therethrough. The chimney facade system (10) is adapted to be secured to an external wall (16) of a building structure (14). The chimney facade system (10) includes a first one-piece base housing (22) and at least a second one-piece base housing (24) adapted to be mounted to base foundation housing (26). Facade system (10) includes a structural support mechanism (36) for at least the first and second one-piece base housings (22 and 24) for coupling each to the other and for coupling the combination to the building structure (14). The structural support mechanism (36) includes a mechanism for adjustably applying a force loading between the external wall (16) of the building structure (14) at least the combination of the first and second one-piece base housings (22 and 24). The first and second one-piece base housings (22 and 24) as well as additional housings (112, 120, 122 and 124 ) are formed in one-piece formation and generally molded of a plastic composition. In this manner, there is provided a structurally reinforced, lightweight, and easily assembled chimney facade system (10). |
