An In-depth look at Chimney Flue Liners

An In-depth look at Chimney Flue Liners

When we think of our chimney, many homeowners and chimney contractors focus on the masonry or fireplace itself.  Although these are both important features, they are not the only ones.  Chimney flue liners can be just as essential to keeping an eye on.

If you aren’t very knowledgeable on chimney liners, here are a few things you should know:

• The most typical type of liner used today is a stainless steel option. Some older homes may have clay liners installed instead
• They are three different types of chimney liners: heavy duty, performance light, and light. A good professional will choose the best option for your unique home.
• When fitted properly for the system and installed to specification, new liners will retain or even improve ventilation performance.
• In almost all circumstances, chimney flue liners will be insulated offering further protection to the home.

When hiring a chimney contractor, it is important to verify that they also offer chimney liner services along with the standard cleanings and inspections.  An experienced professional should be able to inspect the liner, repair it and replace as needed.
