How stainless steel relining works 

Stainless steel chimney liners are UL 1777 listed as a replacement lining system of a solid fuel burning appliance. They have a lifetime warranty and hold up to the corrosive elements found in creosote. We insulate the liner with a "cerwool" blanket to promote better drafting and more efficient heating. Replacing a lining system with terracotta clay tiles is still an option, however it is a less cost effective option due to the labor required to complete this type of repair.

We begin with an accurate measurement of the fireplace opening to properly size the liner. This will help ensure a proper draft when using the fireplace. A liner too small can cause smoke issues. We begin the installation by shattering and the removal of all the existing clay tiles. We then insulate the stainless steel liner and insert it into the chimney.

Once inserted, we secure and seal the liner in place by parging the bottom with high temp refractory cement such as Chamber Tech 2000. For cosmetic reasons, we terminate the liner at the top with a clay tile. Once completed, we install a stainless steel chimney cap to prevent animals, rain, or snow from entering the chimney.
