A chimney liner is your home’s main protection from the heat, smoke, and sparks from your fireplace. Over time, chimney liners often need replacing, whether it’s due to water damage, fire damage or just overall deterioration. When this happens, we at Total Chimney Care strongly recommend choosing a stainless steel chimney liner. Here’s why.

Stainless steel chimney liners can handle the heat from your fireplace.

When it comes to resilience, it’s hard to beat a stainless steel chimney liner. In the event of a chimney fire, a  stainless steel chimney liner can easily handle the heat of the fire. In contrast, the clay tiles of a masonry chimney expand and crack, often rendering the liner ineffective. Many chimney fires go undetected. Therefore, a stainless steel liner might keep your home safe from a chimney fire or from a previously weakened chimney.

Stainless steel chimney liners are durable.

Stainless steel chimney liners are less likely to deteriorate than their clay tile or aluminum counterpart over time. In fact, many stainless steel chimney liners come with warranties because they are manufactured to last a lifetime.

Stainless steel chimney liners are suitable for nearly any type of fireplace.

There are so many different types of fireplaces that it’s hard to find a one-size-fits-all option for chimney liners. Stainless steel chimney liners often offer that option. They’re suitable for wood-burning, gas or pellet-burning appliances. They come in several lengths and circumferences, so you can find one to fit your existing chimney. Additionally, they can help you resize your chimney to improve an improper draft.
Stainless steel chimney liners are easy to install in an existing chimney.

Your masonry chimney liner needing replaced can present a problem. Replacing a masonry chimney liner with new flue tiles involves disassembling and reconstructing the entire chimney. The process is time consuming, messy, expensive and impractical. However, a stainless steel chimney liner can save the hassle and the expense! Stainless steel chimney liners are simply inserted from the top of your chimney. They fit into place to provide perfect ventilation for your fireplace or heating stove.

Needing a new chimney liner can be a terrifying thing! It means not relining your chimney may put your home and your family in danger. Total Chimney Care can solve the problem effectively. A safe, durable, and suitable stainless steel chimney liner immediately allows you to enjoy your fireplace or heating stove.
