Chimney Liner

A chimney liner is basically a flue lining in a masonry chimney that contains the combustion products and directs them to the outside atmosphere, protecting the chimney walls from heat and corrosion.

The installation of liners has been highly recommended as it has a significant part to play. In fact, the majority of fire codes have mandated the chimney liner installation.

Why Should You Look For Chimney Liner Installation?

Chimney liners are significantly useful for 3 main functions:

• Preventing the heat transfer to combustibles – A chimney with a liner allows the heat to pass through the chimney. So, it may risk the nearby combustibles to catch fire.

• Protecting the masonry from corrosion – The flue gases if penetrate through the brick and mortar, weaken the structure and could result in reducing the usable chimney life.

• The combustion byproducts are harmful as they are acidic in nature and could reduce the strength of mortar joints from inside the chimney structure by causing erosion which allows passing more heat through the walls.
